As Kenyans lined up at polling stations for the nation’s second presidential election after the August vote was nullified, there were reports of minor scuffling as protesters tried to block the vote.

While voting proceeded calmly in areas where President Uhuru Kenyatta has support, some polling stations in opposition areas did not open, reflecting the main opposition leader’s call for a boycott. The election commission said on Thursday that voting would take place in those areas on Saturday.

The police also fired tear gas at rock-throwing protesters in the Nairobi neighborhood of Kibera and in the western port city of Kisumu, and one protester died of gunshot wounds, according to The Associated Press. The A.P. later reported two more deaths in other areas: in Homa Bay in the west and Athi River town, outside the capital.

The political crisis deepened on Wednesday when the country’s Supreme Court did not hear a case that could have delayed the presidential election. Not enough judges were in attendance, Chief Justice David Maraga said.
