BBC World Service - Weekend, Kenya's first female deputy president?

Martha Karua hopes to become Kenya's first female deputy president

Martha Karua hopes to become Kenya's first female deputy president after elections on Tuesday.

As campaigning in Kenya's presidential election comes to a close tonight, Martha Karua is hoping to be the country’s first female deputy president.

Also, we hear from the scientist trying to revive dead organ cells in pigs.

Plus, squash and netball - just two of the sports hoping to use the Commonwealth Games as a springboard to Olympic status.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Eunice Goes, Portuguese-born professor of Politics at Richmond University here in the UK; and Bulama Bukarti, Nigerian analyst and senior fellow on Sub-Saharan Africa at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, here in London.
