Kenyans head to the ballot box, South Africa’s Jacob Zuma survives no-confidence vote

Kenya’s opposing bloc is dismissing early results from its presidential election showing President Uhuru Kenyatta leading the race as “fake,” Reuters reports. The heated election is a rematch of sorts pitting Kenyatta, a wealthy businessman, against self-proclaimed leftist and former political prisoner Raila Odinga. The last ballot battle between the pair sparked waves of violence and unrest.

Meanwhile, South African President Jacob Zuma appears to have survived a no-confidence motion that went to secret ballot, according to Bloomberg, which notes that the vote might end up being the harbinger of the end for the African National Congress’s political reign.
