Calm returned to the western city of Kisumu and Nairobi's Kibera slum on Tuesday after protestors had battled police ovenight. Both are strongholds of opposition leader Raila Odinga, who is due to address the media at 1100 GMT, according to a tweet by his spokesman.Reporting by Rachel Savage; editing by Marc Jones
