Kenya officials accused of trying to subvert will of people

A bitter row within Kenya's electoral commission is deepening after its chairman, Wafula Chebukati, accused senior colleagues of trying to alter last week's presidential election result to force a re-run. Mr Chebukati declared William Ruto as the winner on Monday, but four of his electoral commissioners immediately disowned the result.
