Boycott, protests and anxiety as Kenya returns to polls

Kenya stood Tuesday at dangerous crossroads two days ahead of presidential elections, with deep divisions between rival leaders, publicly-voiced doubt over the vote's credibility and a last-ditch legal bid to delay the poll. Thursday's drama is rooted in a decision by the same court to overturn the result of the first presidential election, which took place on August 8. Top diplomats and observers have excoriated both opposition leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta for division instead of searching for a path to a free and fair election.
