Kenya election: Uhuru Kenyatta re-elected in disputed poll.
He won 98% of the vote with turnout at just under 39% - less than half that was recorded in August's vote, according to the election commission. The opposition leader, Raila Odinga, pulled out of the re-run and urged his supporters to boycott it. Mr Kenyatta was also declared the winner in the August vote, which was annulled because of "irregularities".

The unprecedented decision from the Supreme
Court cancelling the result did not attribute any blame to President Kenyatta's party or campaign.

Commission chairman Wafula Chebukati
described the latest vote as "free, fair and
credible". Kenya's opposition now has seven days to mount a legal challenge, and Mr Odinga says he will make an announcement on Tuesday.
About 50 people are reported to have died in
violence since Mr Kenyatta was declared the winner in August's election.
