Kenya Election

[Guest guest]

Interesting parallels between the "election" of President W. Bush (as "decided" by USA Supreme Court) in 2000,

and the "reelection" of President Kibaki (as "announced" by the Election Commission of Kenya).

When nations are split 50/50 difficulties naturally follow.

EU observers doubt presidential result

By NATION Reporter

The European Union election observers have expressed doubts over the outcome of the presidential race.

A statement this evening from the EU Observer Mission doubted the credibility of the tallying process for the presidential votes.

Here is the full text of the statement:

The Chief Observer of the EU Election Observation Mission (EU EOM), Graf Lambsdorff, Member of the European Parliament, issued the following statement about the announcement of the winner of the presidential election in the Republic of Kenya:

“Once again, we would like to commend Kenyan citizens for the strong commitment to peace and democracy that they showed on election day.

With a view to the presidential elections, however, we believe that, at this time, the ECK, despite the best efforts of its chairman, has not succeeded in establishing the credibility of the tallying process to the satisfaction of all parties and candidates. We regret that it has not been possible to address irregularities about which both the EU EOM and the ECK have evidence. The result for the Molo constituency, for example, was announced in the presence of EU EOM Observers at the constituency tally center as 50.145 votes for President Kibaki, while the ECK today declared the result for the President to be 75.261 votes. Because of this and other observed irregularities, some doubt remains as to the accuracy of the result of the presidential election as announced today.

We call on the leaders of Kenya to maintain this spirit of peace and democracy so admirably shown by the people of Kenya on Thursday.”
