Kenyans Boycott Repeat Election Amidst Violence


KISUMU, Kenya, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Kenyans who boycotted a repeat presidential election voiced relief on Saturday after authorities indefinitely delayed further attempts to hold the vote in some opposition areas due to the risk of violence. Kenyatta has won more than 97 percent of votes counted so far, according to a local media tally. In Thursday's vote, Kenyatta faced six minor candidates, none of whom won more than 1 percent in August. "The law says if you want to vote, you vote, if not, you don't." Violence has killed at least five people since Thursday's vote.
