A Kenyan mother has named her new-born twins after US President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Millicent Owuor, 20, gave birth to the twins in south-west Kenya on the day Obama was re-elected.
A short distance from the hospital, at the Obama family’s ancestral village, people were celebrating his victory.
She said she named the first twin Barack and the second one Mitt, after the winning and losing US presidential candidates in order to remember the day of the vote.
