Two weeks ago, the presidential elections in Kenya were held. Official and final results were not released until the following Sunday.
The opposition is led by Raila Odinga, losing by 230,000 votes out of a total cast of 10 million.
The president, Mwai Kibaki, retained his position.
About 600 deaths have been reported and 250,000 people have fled their homes at the arrival of violence.
Different solutions have been proposed. One of the leading ideas is that of forming a coalition government between both parties until another election can be held under a system that is more effective. Neither side, naturally, wishes to give in to the other.
