NAIROBI Josh Onomah Jersey , Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- Kenyan's opposition leader Raila Odinga on Friday hailed the Supreme Court decision to annul the Aug. 8 presidential elections that declared President Uhuru Kenya as winner, terming the ruling "historic" for Kenya and Africa.


Speaking after the apex court delivered its verdict, Odinga termed the annulment of the election result as a "very historic day for the people of Kenya and by extension the people of the continent of Africa".


"For the first time, a ruling has been made by court nullifying the elections. I want to thank the judges for doing this for posterity of people of Kenya," he said.


Odinga's running mate, Kalonzo Musyoka Jan Vertonghen Jersey , said he was happy but noted that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) must be punished.


"We will have to look deeply into the conduct of IEBC. We do not have faith that they are capable of conducting free and fair elections," said Musyoka.


In the verdict delivered by Chief Justice David Maraga, the judges by majority observed that there is sufficient evidence to show the IEBC did not adhere to the law in conducting the election.


Maraga, agreed by Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu, Smokin Wanjala and Isaac Lenaola, said the electoral body messed in the transmission of results. The judges Hugo Lloris Jersey , however, absolved bale of President Kenyatta.


The judges directed the electoral body to conduct fresh elections within 60 days, in accordance to Article 140 of the Constitution.


Two judges, Jackton Ojwang and Njoki Ndung'u, dissented with the majority ruling, saying they saw no need to cancel the election.


The two dissenting judges said the polls were free Harry Winks Jersey , fair and credible as described by international observers.


Maraga, who is also the president of the court, called on Kenyans to maintain peace, saying that an election is a process and not an event.


Odinga urged other African countries to follow suit in the adoption of democracy in the running of state affairs.


Uganda, Ghana, Zimbabwe Harry Kane Jersey , Zambia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone are other countries on the African continent where presidential elections have been challenged in courts of law but have not been nullified.


Analysts say nullification of Kenyatta's victory is particularly crucial to Odinga as it has granted his political career a lifeline as he had vowed never to contest for presidency again.


The opposition leader's lead lawyer James Orengo said that the ruling is precedent setting in Kenya and Africa.


"Never has a supreme court overturned a victory of a seating president ... The rest of the continent will follow suit. There is going to be new fresh presidential elections," Orengo said.


Lawyers who represented President Kenyatta and the IEBC faulted the judgment and sought explanations and clarifications from the judges. They termed the verdict a political one.

KOH SAMUI, Thailand: A Thai court on Thursday sentenced two Myanmar migrants to death for murdering a pair of British holidaymakers on a paradise island Fernando Llorente Jersey , in a case that sullied the kingdom's reputation as a tourist haven and raised questions over its justice system.


Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Tun were found guilty of killing David Miller, 24, and the rape and murder of Hannah Witheridge, 23, on the diving resort island of Koh Tao in southern Thailand.


"Both defendants are guilty of murder for which the penalty is the death sentence," an unnamed judge told the court Erik Lamela Jersey , adding they were also "found guilty of rape and conspiracy to hide the crime."


The pair were grim faced as the verdict was read out while the mother of one of them cried from the gallery as the sentence was passed.


Both men, who arrived at the court with their hands and legs shackled, denied killing the British pair, whose battered bodies were found on a beach on Sep 15, 2014.


They were arrested on October 2 after a high-profile police probe, which saw authorities come under intense pressure to solve a case that shocked the Thai public.


Throughout the trial prosecutors said the evidence against the men was rock solid Eric Dier Jersey , including DNA traces found on Witheridge's body as well as the suspects being in possession of Miller's phone and sunglasses.


But the defence has accused the police of bungling their investigation and using the Myanmar migrants - both aged 22 - as scapegoats indicating they would appeal a guilty verdict.


Miller was struck by a single blow and left to drown in shallow surf while Witheridge was raped and then bludgeoned to death with a garden hoe.


Miller's parents and brother were at the court on Koh Samui, a larger island which neighbours Koh Tao.
