Kenyan politician Raila Odinga rejected as a “travesty” the result of the August 9 presidential election he was declared to have lost to Deputy President William Ruto and warned on Tuesday of a long legal crisis facing Kenya’s democracy.

His first comments on the result came after four of the seven election commissioners said they stood by their decision a day earlier to disown figures announced by electoral commission chairman Wafula Chebukati.

Overnight, Odinga’s supporters battled police and burned tyres in the western city of Kisumu and the capital Nairobi’s huge Kibera slum, but calm had returned to the streets by Tuesday morning. “What we saw yesterday was a travesty,” he told reporters, but appealed to his supporters to remain peaceful.Odinga broadcast the dissenting commission members’ news conference at his own venue before taking the stage.Odinga has until next Monday to file a challenge with the supreme court.
