| Uhuru Kenyatta: Kenyan President sworn in for second term amid violent clashes and protests | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Uhuru Kenyatta has been sworn in for a second term as Kenya's President amid a months-long election controversy, with protests and clashes taking place across the country. | |
| Kenyatta was inaugurated by chief registrar Anne Amadi using a Bible that had been used to swear in his father founding President Jomo Kenyatta at independence in 1963. | |
| The ceremony began amid heavy security in parts of the capital, Nairobi, following a call by the opposition for peaceful demonstrations in memory of dozens killed by police and militia while protesting Kenyatta's re-election. | |
| Police used tear gas to push back Kenyatta supporters to prevent them from entering the 60,000-capacity Kasarani Stadium, even though four stands behind the VIP area were kept empty. | |
