EU and Commonwealth have withdrawn their observers from the
Kenyan election with saying that there are credible threats to its staff.
In a statement, the two international observer missions have
indicated that there are threats against its staff in the field as a good
number of Kenyans are against the election and the principal challenger of
President Uhuru, Raila Odinga, has withdrawn from the race.

However, EU is maintaining a small group of staff who are
more of like in holiday than serious election observation saying that they will
only be monitoring key aspects of the elections and reporting on the same.
The head of EU observer mission in the country Marietje
Schaake has been considered more of someone in holiday than doing serious work
of observing the elections. She was accused by NASA of being part of the team
of imperialists who are determined to impose a leader on Kenyans.
The elections will be held on 26th October with NASA already
saying that they will neither participate nor allow the elections in parts of
the country which they control.
