Kenyan police have used batons and tear gas to break up a protest near the election commission headquarters in Nairobi.
Protesters have been demanding the sacking and prosecution of senior officials following the annulled presidential election last month, arguing that the officials favoured President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga has accused the commission, of being a puppet of Mr Kenyatta’s governing Jubilee party and said he won’t be a candidate in the re-run election unless officials are taken to court.
Commission chief, Ezra Chiloba, has rejected calls to resign saying he is committed to carrying out his responsibilities.
Hundreds of Odinga supporters on Tuesday gathered outside the commission’s offices waving placards and chanting, “Chiloba out.”
