Oro och protester i Kenya efter presidentens seger
Det blev oroligt på flera håll i Kenya sedan valkommissionen i landet utropat den sittande presidenten Uhuru Kenyatta till segrare i presidentvalet i dag, rapporterar AP. Anhängare till oppositionskandidaten Raila Odinga drabbade samman med polis i huvudstaden Nairobis förorter och i Kisumu i västra Kenya.
Valet har fått kritik. Odinga uppmanade till bojkott och bara 39 procent röstade.
– Det var inte ett val för alla kenyaner, säger Odingaanhängaren Peter Musundi till AP.

Wikipedia (en)
Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta (; born 26 October 1961) is a Kenyan politician and the fourth president of the Republic of Kenya. He served as the Member of Parliament for Gatundu South from 2002 to 2013. Currently a member of the Jubilee Party of Kenya, he was previously involved with The National Alliance and before that the Kenya African National Union.
He is the son of Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya's first president, and his fourth wife Mama Ngina Kenyatta. Uhuru was re-elected for a second term in the August 2017 general election, winning 54% of the popular vote. The win was formally declared on national television by the Chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Wafula Chebukati. However, Uhuru's election was successfully challenged in the Supreme Court of Kenya by his main competitor, Raila Odinga. On 1st September 2017, the court declared the election invalid and ordered a new presidential election to take place within 60 days from the day of the ruling.
