Voters in Kenya
rejected the country's proposed constitution by a wide
margin, Agence France-Presse reported Tuesday. The outcome
dealt a major blow to the country's president.
Turnout among the country's 11.6 million
eligible voters was estimated to be at 60%. One major
reason for the constitution's failure was the fact
that Christian church leaders believed the document could
legalize abortions and marriage for same-sex couples.
Monday's vote was held after a campaign marred
by violence in which at least eight people were killed
and rallies were routinely disrupted, the wire service
reported. (Advocate.com)
