Before the announcement of the presidential results Friday, Kisumu City remained a ghost town as anxiety continued.

Most streets and major roads around the city remained empty with shops closed. Extra measures were taken with police officers who were deployed operating both on air and on the ground as the stalemate over the presidential results persisted.
