NAIROBI, KENYA—The database of Kenya’s election commission was unsuccessfully targeted by a hacking attempt, a top official said Thursday, disputing allegations by opposition leader Raila Odinga that hackers were able to infiltrate the computer system and manipulate results against him following Tuesday’s vote. While most of this East African country of more than 40 million people was calm, clashes between police and protesters erupted in a Nairobi slum on Thursday. Police fired on rioters in Kawangware, a poor area of the capital, said an Associated Press photographer. One injured man was carried away by protesters who said police shot him. The election commission has a week from the vote to release the final tally.
