NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) – The Latest on Kenya’s elections (all times local):

12:25 p.m.

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says Kenyan political candidates and parties should work within the law to resolve any disputes over national elections.

Kerry is an election observer for The Carter Center. He says he believes the election commission has an effective system, if fully implemented, to guarantee the integrity of Tuesday’s vote as results are counted.

Several people died in protests on Wednesday after opposition leader Raila Odinga alleged that hackers had infiltrated the election commission’s database and manipulated results in favor of President Uhuru Kenyatta. Election officials are investigating.
