Kenya opposition calls for fresh vote

President open to unity gout: Tutu

AP, AFP, Nairobi
Kenya's opposition party called for a new presidential election to settle a dispute over the vote that has sparked days of deadly riots, and police hurled tear gas to scatter more than 1,000 protesters in the coastal city of Mombasa yesterday.
There was no immediate comment on the call for a new vote from the government of President Mwai Kibaki, who is unlikely to accept such a demand.
The US and Europe were among those pushing for reconciliation, but said a "made-in-Kenya solution" is needed to end the violence that has killed 300 people and displaced 100,000 in what was once lauded as among the most stable democracies in Africa.
The upheaval has spread from the capital to the coast and the western highlands. In Mombasa, a city heavily dependent on tourism, police scattered 1,500 protesters who were shouting "Kibaki has stolen our vote!" There were no immediate reports of injuries.
In Nairobi, supporters of oppo sition candidate Raila Odinga vowed that street protests that shook Nairobi a day earlier would continue Friday, but by midday there no signs of a mass protest brewing. Small groups of protesters
were gathering on street corners in the slums, though, saying they were preparing for a rally.
International observers say ballot counting after the Dec. 27 vote that returned Kibaki to power was flawed.
Anyang Nyongo, secretarygeneral of Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement, said the country should ready "for a new election of the president." With the call, the opposition appeared to leave little room for compromise with Kibaki, leaving the political deadlock to grind on.
"This is about a democracy and justice," Nyongo said. "We shall continue to defend and promote the
right of Kenyans so that the democratic process should be fulfilled.”
Meanwhile South African Nobel peace laureate Desmond TUtu on Friday said President Mwai Kibaki was open to a coalition government with his opposition foes in a bid to break the political deadlock.
"There Is a great deal of hope since both the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and government have indicated they are open to negotiations." the cleric told reporters after talks with Kibaki.
"The president was not averse to the formation of coalitions -- but clearly there has to be an acceptance that there is a governing authority in the country," Thtu said.
