At least two people were killed in protests yesterday after Kenya’s Supreme Court upheld the result of last month’s disputed presidential election.

Authorities said that riot police had shot dead two opposition Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) protesters in the capital Nairobi and Migori.

The court unanimously upheld President Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election in the October 26 poll, which was called after the annulment of August’s election over ballot-rigging allegations.
