1. Various of scuffles between security and election officials
STORYLINE:
Scuffles broke out in Kenya on Monday after several election officials dissociated themselves from the final tallying stages of the presidential election result.
The clashes preceded the announcement by Kenya’s electoral commission chair that Deputy President William Ruto was the winner of the close presidential election.
The scuffles followed others which took place on Saturday when riot police responded to disruption at the national tallying center amid tensions over the close results.
Turnout dipped sharply in this election, to 65%, as some Kenyans expressed weariness with seeing long-familiar political leaders on the ballot and frustration with economic issues including widespread corruption and rising prices.
Outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta crossed the ethnic lines that have long marked politics by backing Odinga.
The president fell out with his deputy Ruto years ago.
Past elections have been marked by political violence, but civil society observers, police, religious leaders and others have said this one has been peaceful.
