A man was on Thursday morning shot and injured in the leg as fresh protests erupted in Kawangware. Johnstone Amango said he was crossing the road where residents were protesting against the presidential election results being streamed on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) portal when he was shot.

"The bullet hit me in the right leg, just below the knee, and came out through the other side," said Mr Amango who was receiving medical treatment in a nearby clinic.
