Kenya's election date changed again

The chairman of Kenya's electoral commission (IEBC) has announced that the re-run of the presidential election will be held on 26 October. 

Wafula Chebukati had initially planned to hold the election on 17 October.

He said that the change was meant to allow the commission "to deliver an election that meets the standard set out by the Supreme Court". 

The judges ruled that the 8 August election was "neither transparent or verifiable".
