Kenyas valchef: ”Ger gult kort till alla politiker”
Det är svårt att garantera att det planerade omvalet i Kenya genomförs på ett fritt och rättvist sätt, säger valkommissionens ordförande Wafula Chebukati enligt Reuters. Dessutom uppmanar han båda sidor att sluta lägga sig i valprocessen.
– Jag ger gult kort till alla politiska ledare i detta land. De måste upphöra med sina försök att lägga sig i processen, säger han enligt AFP.
Detta efter att en framstående ledamot i valkommissionen hoppat av efter påstådda hot.

Valet i Kenya 2017
Wikipedia (en)
General elections were held in Kenya on 8 August 2017 to elect the President, members of Parliament and devolved governments. The reported results indicated that incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta was re-elected with 54% of the vote. His main opponent, Raila Odinga, refused to accept the results and contested them in the Supreme Court.
The results of the presidential election were subsequently annulled and fresh elections were ordered to be held within 60 days. It was later announced that a new election would be held on October 17. However, the results of the parliamentary and local elections remained valid. The date for the presidential election was later changed to 26th October 2017. Despite the ruling for a new Presidential election, Odinga later announced his decision to withdraw from the repeat election on October 10.
