Kenyans to elect leader in December
Kenya will hold general elections at the end of December to elect a successor to the president, who has ruled the country for 24 years.
«The elections will be at the end of December», said the president, who will not be eligible to run under new electoral rules introduced in 1991 that prohibit the head of state from serving more than two five-year terms. He gave no precise date for the elections.
