Human Rights groups have brought the 11th-hour legal action fearing violence if the one-sided contest takes place.

Kenya’s government’s already declared today and tomorrow public holidays in order to allow voters to cast their ballots.

President Uhuru Kenyatta, who won the August election which was overturned by the Supreme Court, is adamant tomorrow’s re-run should take place.

But human rights groups say there should be a delay to allow the Independent Electoral Commission more time to organize the poll.

They fear violence from supporters of opposition leader Raila Odinga who has withdrawn as a candidate.

The post-election violence after the 2007, which cost at least 1500 lives hangs over the court decision today.
