In pictures: Kenya vote violence

There has been unrest in parts of Kenya where opposition candidate Raila Odinga has taken on President Mwai Kibaki in a presidential election.

There have been claims of vote rigging and demands for votes to be recounted.

Raila Odinga has been ahead in the count, but his supporters turned violent on Saturday when the electoral commission announced a reduction in his lead.

Mr Odinga's camp has raised allegations that Mr Kibaki's side may be seeking to rig the results.

In Nairobi's Kibera slum, people began attacking and looting shops.

Whatever the modest shops contained was carried off.

As the violence got worse riot police moved in.

People were chased down and arrested.

Anyone caught looting was dealt with harshly.
