Residents looking to receive food form long queues behind a vehicle from the Kenyan Red Cross preparing to distribute food aid in the Kibera slum area of Nairobi, Kenya Friday, Jan. 4, 2008. The International Red Cross said Friday it is sending additional staff and relief supplies to Kenya, to give the Kenyan Red Cross enough supplies to meet the basic needs of at least 100,000 people for several weeks, after hundreds were killed and thousands displaced in violence following the country's disputed national elections.(AP Photo/Ben Curtis)NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Kenya's opposition party demanded new presidential elections Friday as thousands of hungry slum dwellers swamped aid workers after days of deadly riots over the disputed vote cut supplies of groceries and water.

A spokesman for President Mwai Kibaki said there would only be a rerun of the Dec. 27 election if a court orders it. Kenya's high court, which can annul the vote and force a new one, was largely appointed by Kibaki.

"The government doesn't reject or accept this. Only the court can call for the rerun of the election," Alfred Mutua told The Associated Press.
