Kenya election 2017: President Kenyatta urges peaceful vote

He urged the 19 million registered voters to turn out in great numbers, but to "do so in peace".
The contest pits Mr Kenyatta against his long-time rival, Raila Odinga, and is seen as too close to call.
The final week of campaigning has been marred by the murder of a top election official and claims of vote-rigging.
Mr Kenyatta, the 55-year-old son of Kenya's founding president, is seeking a second and final term in office.
Observers say the leading candidates have both avoided inflammatory speeches as polling day draws closer. In 2007 more than 1,100 Kenyans died and 600,000 were displaced after a disputed election - an outcome neither side wants to see repeated. 
"After you cast your ballot, please go home," Mr Kenyatta said on Monday. 
"Go back to your neighbour. Regardless of where he or she comes from, their tribe, their colour or their religion. Shake their hand, share a meal and tell them 'let us wait for the results,' for Kenya will be here long after this general election."
