An opposition supporter was on Monday knocked down and killed on the spot along Nairobi's Uhuru Highway.
The lady who was unidentified by the time of the filing this story was run over by a speeding Toyota Land Cruiser as former prime minister Raila Odinga's supporters streamed to Uhuru Park for his 'swearing in'.
The woman was in a group of women who were crossing the usually busy highway shortly after 1pm.
The accident occurred opposite Nyayo House which hosts the Immigration Department and other government departments.
Uhuru Highway, by the time the accident occurred, was clear as there was little traffic owing to the tension that was in the city because of the opposition chief's 'inauguration'.
Police who were at the Uhuru Highway-Kenyatta Avenue roundabout took the body to the City Mortuary.
