(UTV|COLOMBO) – Security has been stepped up in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, ahead of the inauguration of President Uhuru Kenyatta for a second term in office.
More than 20 heads of state or senior ministers are expected to attend.
Opposition leader, Raila Odinga, who boycotted a re-run of the presidential poll, has called for a protest rally, despite a police ban.
August’s presidential election was annulled by the Supreme Court over what it called “irregularities”.
The re-run, on 26 October, saw Mr Kenyatta win 98% of the vote with a turnout of just under 39%.
