Kenya Police Shoot at Opposition leader and Ex Prime Minister Raila Odinga's Car (PHOTOS)

Kenyan police on Monday reportedly fired live bullets at opposition leader and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga in central Nairobi.

Officers armed with batons confronted hundreds of protesters outside the offices of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), the third clash over the issue in less than a month. Kenya does not hold its next presidential and parliamentary polls until August 2017, but politicians are already trying to galvanise their supporters in a nation where violence erupted after the 2007 vote and the opposition disputed the 2013 result.
The opposition CORD coalition, led by Raila Odinga who lost the 2013 vote and unsuccessfully challenged the result in court, has accused the IEBC of bias and said its members should quit. IEBC officials have dismissed the charge and say they will stay.
"For free and fair election, IEBC must go," read a banner held aloft by one demonstrator on Monday. licemen beat a protester inside a building during clashes in Nairobi, Kenya May 16, 2016.
As numbers grew, police fired tear gas and water cannon from trucks parked nearby at protesters. A Reuters witness saw one protester carrying a bag of stones, while others threw them at police ranks. Police struck some protesters with batons.
