Photos: Election results spark protests in Kenya

Series of protests have erupted in the opposition stronghold of Kisumu in western Kenya after presidential candidate Raila Odinga alleged that the electoral commission's IT system had been hacked to manipulate the election results.

A statement from the African Union and the European Union has however called on political parties "to use the legally provided channels of dispute resolution in case of any dissatisfaction with the process", adding that police should "avoid excessive use of force".  It also said the IEBC should carry out the tallying process "with full integrity and transparency".

Below are photos of protests in some opposition strongholds in Kenya after provisional results showed that President Uhuru Kenyatta was set to win the disputed elections by a comfortable margin.
