Opposition leader says he won poll

-

Supporters of Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga have said an unofficial tally shows he won the country’s presidenti­al election despite a provisiona­l official result that puts incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta in the lead.

Although most of the East African nation was calm after Tuesday’s vote, scattered clashes broke out between police and opposition supporters.

The uncertaint­y has left Kenya in political limbo, as its people await final results they hope will dissipate tensions over vote-rigging allegation­s and preserve the long-term stability that has made the country a commercial hub.
