Raila Odinga
Kenyan politician Raila Odinga.
The voter turnout for Kenya’s presidential rerun election held on October 26, 2017, was approximately 39 percent.12
This low turnout was largely attributed to a boycott called by the National Super Alliance (NASA) and Raila Odinga, as well as security issues that prevented polling stations from opening in certain opposition-dominated areas. The turnout was less than half of that recorded during the initial August 8, 2017, presidential election.3124
