Kenyan leader asks Burundian president to postpone polls

Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta has told Burundi's President Pierre Nkurunziza to postpone elections due in the next few months after last week's failed military coup, Kenyatta's spokesman said on Monday.

Manoah Esipisu, the spokesman for Kenyatta, wrote on his Twitter feed that the two leaders, whose nations belong to the East African Community (EAC) common market, had spoken by phone.
