Kenyan Police Clash with Supporters of Opposition Presidential Candidate
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Kenya's capital Nairobi, police fired tear gas Monday at protesters
blockading roads and burning tires, as opposition leader Raila Odinga
demanded the government fire electoral officials and bar the ruling
party from changing voting laws. The protests come after Kenya's Supreme
Court invalidated August's presidential ballot, citing irregularities in
President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election victory. A new election is
scheduled for October 26.
