Running mate for Kenya's Odinga wants vote count stopped


NAIROBI (Reuters) - The running mate of one of the two front-runners in Kenya's presidential vote said on Thursday the ballot count lacked integrity and should stop, comments that could inflame what has so far been a largely peaceful election.

The remarks by Kalonzo Musyoka, running alongside presidential hopeful Prime Minister Raila Odinga, will revive painful memories for Kenyans of the 2007 vote, when disputes over the count sparked ethnic violence that killed 1,200 people.
