Nairobi - An independent commission led by South African judge Johann Kriegler on Wednesday handed over its final report on the 2007 Kenyan elections that ended in bloodshed after allegations of vote rigging.

President Mwai Kibaki received the report and promised to act on its findings.

More than 1,500 people died in clashes between rival tribes affiliated to the political parties and hundreds of thousands were forced to flee their homes during the violence, which came after opposition leader Raila Odinga accused Kibaki's party of rigging the presidential elections.

Calm returned after several months and a deal brokered by former United Nations chief Kofi Annan saw a power-sharing government, with Odinga sworn in as prime minister in April.

Annan and Kriegler are expected to present the report's findings to the public on Friday. (dpa)
