Kenyan President Kenyatta wins 98 percent of vote in repeat election

By Katharine Houreld and Duncan Miriri NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta won 98 percent of the vote in a repeated election in which an opposition boycott helped lower turnout to 39 percent, the electoral commission said on Monday. Veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga said the Oct. 26 election was a farce. The violence has for the most part seen protesters clash with police but some Kenyans fear it is starting to take on ethnic overtones after two deaths in clashes between rival groups at the weekend.
