Odinga's running mate calls for election count to be halted

The running mate of presidential candidate Raila Odinga has called for the count to be halted in Kenya's elections and cast doubt on the fairness of a process that is still incomplete after three days.

Mr Odinga, Kenya's prime minister, is trailing Uhuru Kenyatta in the count.

Running mate Kalonzo Musyoka said his comments were not a call for mass action and he urged voters to stay calm and patient.
