NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Kenya's opposition leader said Friday he expects a new power-sharing agreement to succeed, two months after a disputed presidential election set off violence that tarnished the country's reputation for stability.
Raila Odinga will be prime minister under the deal he struck Thursday with President Mwai Kibaki. Odinga accused Kibaki of stealing the Dec. 27 election, and fighting over their dispute killed more than 1,000 people and forced 600,000 from their homes.
"If I did not believe in its ability to work I would not have entered it," Odinga told The Associated Press. "We believe strongly the country requires cooperation among all the parties so that we can cultivate understanding."
