NAIROBI - 23 October 2017: Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta urged Kenyans to maintain peace ahead of fresh presidential elections next week as at least one person was shot and wounded by police amid a rise in ethnic tensions in the capital, Fox News reported Sunday.

Kenyatta's August re-election was nullified by the Supreme Court and a new election ordered.

Tensions have increased ahead of the fresh vote set for Oct. 26 which opposition leader Raila Odinga is boycotting because the electoral commission has not been reformed.
