Kenyan police say three people died during the country's repeat presidential election amid confrontations between protesters and security forces.
A statement late Thursday says one person died of a gunshot wound in the opposition stronghold of Kisumu County when about 300 people "stormed into" a vote counting center. It says another person was shot dead in Homa Bay in western Kenya when hundreds of people tried to force their way into a police base.
The statement says the third person died at a Kisumu County hospital after being brought in by someone who said he had been shot in a confrontation.
Earlier Thursday a police source said another person was killed in Athi River town outside the capital, Nairobi. The police source spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.
