NAIROBI: Kenyan police fired teargas into a crowd of opposition leaders and their supporters who were marching on the office of the country's electoral commission to demand its disbandment ahead of next year's election.

Opposition leaders Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula demanded the dissolution of the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) over the weekend and said they would storm its offices to eject its commissioners.
