Clashes mar Kenya presidential election re-run as opposition leads protest

Kenya’s presidential election re-run has been marred by isolated clashes and a boycott by the main opposition.

A teenage boy was shot by police and later died amid clashes in the opposition stronghold of Kisumu, one of four communities hit by violence.

The electoral commission said voting in those areas would be postponed until Saturday.

President Uhuru Kenyatta was declared the winner in an August vote, which was annulled because of irregularities.

Mr Kenyatta is seeking a second term as opposition leader; Raila Odinga has pulled out of the contest.
