Kenya election 2017: Kenyatta says respect the result

People are voting in Kenya's general election amid fears that the result could trigger communal violence.
President Uhuru Kenyatta called for unity, saying he would accept the result, and urged his rivals to do the same. He said Kenyans should "move forward as one nation".
Queues at polling stations formed early and some minor stampedes were reported.
The contest pits Mr Kenyatta against his long-time rival, Raila Odinga, and is seen as too close to call.
Mr Kenyatta, the 55-year-old son of Kenya's founding president, is seeking a second and final term in office.
