Following the acceptance speech by President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, violent protests have broken out at the stronghold of his opponent, Raila Odinga.
At Kibera slum in Nairobi, protesters are confronting police in violent protests. Gunshots are heard ringing out in the night with ambulances blazing up and down the roads. Police helicopters are also hovering above the slum, the largest in all of East Africa.
It is the same thing in Kisumu county, another Odinga stronghold where gunshots are heard and protesters are in the streets.

In his acceptance speech, President Kenyatta had urged Kenyans to come together and shun violence.
