Kenya’s main opposition alliance called for a boycott of three of the country’s biggest companies, including mobile operator Safaricom Ltd., to press its demands for electoral reform.
The National Super Alliance said its supporters should also spurn Brookside Dairies Ltd., part-owned by Danone SA of France, and closely held Bidco Oil Refineries Ltd., a Nairobi-based manufacturer of edible oils. The boycott forms part of a so-called economic liberation program the alliance started on Friday after earlier rejecting the results of last week’s presidential-election rerun.
