Kenyan president Kibaki to share power with Odinga

Lawmakers unanimously passed the Constitution of Kenya Bill and the  National Accord and Reconciliation Bill at a session attended by Kibaki  and rival opposition chief Raila Odinga.
Both Kibaki and opposition  leader Odinga claimed victory in the Dec. 27 presidential election,  but  observers said that the election was so flawed by rigging that it was  impossible to say which candidate had won.
Under the deal, Odinga  will fill the newly created post of prime minister.
The deal has  raised hopes of a permanent end to the violence that erupted when  Kibakis re-election in the December 27 polls was challenged by Odingas  Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) with accusations of vote rigging.
This  years bloodshed, spurred by clashes and resentment over land and  wealth that regularly occurs at election time in Kenya, was the  bloodiest so far.  An unprecedented cycle of protests, police raids,  tribal clashes and revenge killings left at least 1,500 people dead and  hundreds of thousands displaced following the December elections,  dealing a huge blow to east Africas largest economy.
