Two people were shot dead in Nairobi as they took advantage of the protests to steal, Nairobi police chief Japheth Koome said. Kenyan police opened fire on people protesting election results earlier Wednesday in another opposition stronghold, killing one person. Odinga lost that election; he also lost the 2013 vote to Kenyatta and took allegations of vote-tampering to the Supreme Court, which rejected his case. Msando had sought to reassure voters that election results would not be tampered with. Odinga’s running mate, Kalonzo Musyoka, also called for restraint as the fraud allegations are investigated.
