Kenya: Calm Returns as People Go Back to WorkAugust 15, 2017 - Following presidential election that Uhuru Kenyatta won by 54 percent according to Kenya's election commission, opposition leader Raila Odinga disputed election results which he claimed were electronically tampered. Kenyans largely ignored the call, opening shops and returning to work as they shrugged off demands for demonstrations against President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election and against the killing of protesters. Kenyatta beat rival Raila Odinga by securing more than 54 percent of the vote, official results show. A Kenyan human rights group said on Saturday that 24 people had been shot dead by police since election day. "I would advise others that unless you have permission from your boss, then you better go to work."
