Violence and Resolution
Kibaki's declaration of victory led to widespread rioting, and prompted an immediate ballot recount. Foreign mediators, including the UN's Kofi Annan and the American diplomat, Jendayi Frazer mediated the dispute. On February 28, 2008, a power-sharing agreement was struck between Kibaki and Odinga's respective administrations.Presidential Election Results
