Trial Chamber V(b) of the International Criminal Court on Thursday postponed the trial of President Uhuru Kenyatta from November 12 to February 5, 2014.
Mr Kenyatta’s lawyers last week asked for the trial to be postponed, citing the "national and international crisis" triggered by last month's deadly attack on Nairobi's Westgate shopping centre.
President Kenyatta is charged, as an indirect co-perpetrator, with five counts of crimes against humanity consisting of murder, deportation or forcible transfer, rape, persecution and other inhumane acts allegedly committed during the post-election violence in Kenya in 2007-2008.
