Kenya's President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta is to challenge a case against him at the International Criminal Court today, where he stands accused of crimes against humanity.
Kenyatta's lawyers are currently at a hearing scheduled at The Hague, where they will request a case due to be held in July to be scrapped. The hearing comes just a week after Kenyatta's co-accused, top civil servant Francis Muthaura, had his case dropped.
He stands accused of orchestrating attacks in the aftermath of the country's 2007 elections, where more than 1,000 people were killed and 600,000 were left homeless.
The ICC had originally charged 6 people over the violence, but cases against 2 of the accused have been dropped.
