Miles de personas salieron hoy a la calle en diferentes ciudades de Kenia para apoyar a la coalición opositora, que esta tarde exigió a la comisión electoral que la declare vencedora de las elecciones del martes, pese a que los datos oficiales dan como ganador al presidente del país, Uhuru Kenyatta.

Minutos después de la exigencia pública de la Super Alianza Nacional (NASA, por sus siglas en inglés), miles de ciudadanos tomaron de forma pacífica las calles de los principales suburbios de Nairobi, como Mathare o Kibera, donde se ha desplegado un dispositivo policial, informaron medios locales.

"Uhuru debe irse. No se puede vivir con un presidente que utiliza la fuerza excesiva contra los ciudadanos", protestaba una manifestante.

Entre bailes, cánticos y gritos de "Fuera Uhuru" o "Sin Raila no hay paz", los residentes de este barrio chabolista celebraron las proclamación de la NASA, al mismo tiempo que decenas de agentes empezaron a desplegarse en la zona, que era sobrevolada por un helicóptero.

"Si tenemos que morir, moriremos. Porque ya estamos muertos, hemos estado sufriendo cinco años el paro, el incremento de los precios de los alimentos... no podemos estar así cinco años más", dijo a Efe un grupo de jóvenes de Mathare, donde ayer dos manifestantes murieron por disparos de la Policía.

También en Kibera, el mayor barrio chabolista del país y uno de los feudos de la oposición, los residentes salieron a la calle con banderas del candidato opositor Raila Odinga y montaron barricadas, preparándose para una posible carga policial.

En la localidad de Kisumu (oeste), según medios locales, una gran multitud de personas también mostró su apoyo a la oposición en la calle, repitiendo las mismas consignas que piden la marcha del actual presidente.

La NASA aseguró esta tarde que los resultados hechos públicos hasta ahora por la Comisión Electoral -que otorgan la victoria a Kenyatta- son fraudulentos y están basados en un pirateo del sistema.

"Pedimos a la Comisión Electoral que declare formalmente a Raila Odinga presidente del país", afirmó el portavoz de la coalición, Musalia Mudavadi.

Según aseguró, una fuente interna de la Comisión Electoral, cuya identidad no reveló por motivos de seguridad, les ha transmitido que Odinga tiene, actualmente, 8,4 millones de votos frente a los 7,7 millones de Kenyatta.

En 2007, Raila Odinga también rechazó los resultados de las elecciones que perdió, lo que derivó en una ola de violencia en la que murieron más de 1.100 personas en Kenia.
