Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga has called for work stayaway today to mark what he says was the theft of last week’s presidential poll.

The 72-year-old four time election loser tells followers he’ll spell out a course of protest action tomorrow.

At least 25 people have died in post-election violence in Kenya.

President Uhuru Kenyyatta, who won a second term with over a million votes more than his chief opponent Raila Odinga, has appealed for calm.

Odinga has defied international calls to  make a similar appeal to his followers.

Each of the three previous times he lost elections, Odinga’s claimed fraud and not the voters have denied him.

International election observers have endorsed the result from the independent electoral commission.
