Kenya's Supreme Court is once again taking centre stage in the nation's election battle after defeated presidential candidate Raila Odinga on Monday filed a Supreme Court challenge over the results. FRANCE 24's Vivianne Wandera reports from Nairobi, Kenya.
The two hearings, one brought by Hungary and one by Poland, will conclude on Tuesday but it could be months before the European Court of Justice gives its ruling.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga says he will take his claims that Kenya's presidential election was rigged to the Supreme Court, after previously refusing to do so, and vows to protest peacefully.
The EU institutions have been at odds with Warsaw about its justice reforms for years now, with the Commission warning they endanger the independence of the judiciary.
