NAIROBI, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- The European Union on Tuesday called for transparent, credible and peaceful presidential re-run in Kenya proposed for Oct. 17 amid opposition from presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
The EU High Representative/Vice-President Federica Mogherini said in a statement issued in Nairobi that a peaceful election campaign will require political leaders to use their authority.
"All institutions involved in the re-run of the elections should now be given the space to continue to work independently and start preparing for new transparent, credible, inclusive and peaceful elections, fulfilling all the requirements of the Constitution and the election law," Mogherini said.
The EU official's statement comes hours after opposition leader, Odinga said on his National Super Alliance (NASA) coalition would not participate in the re-run of a presidential election proposed for Oct. 17 unless it is given "legal and constitutional" guarantees.
Odinga is demanding audit of technology in full compliance with the law, noting that the electoral body should establish a transparent and accountable framework for integration of technology.
According to Odinga, the electoral body must take immediate steps to engender transparency and accountability in the electoral planning and infrastructure.
He said technolo台中滴雞精哪裡買gy integration must be done transparently and must be amenable to a full audit by the commission and stakeholders. "You cannot do a mistake twice and expect to get different results," Odinga told journalists in Nairobi.
Mogherini said the Supreme Court's ruling, ordering of a re-run of the presidential elections, is a strong demonstration of the independence of the Kenyan judiciary and the strength of national democracy.
"The appeal procedure is in line with the democratic process as prescribed in the Constitution of Kenya," Mogherini said.
She said the court decision at the crucial time requires all political forces and the Kenyan people to act with the highest sense of responsibility and full respect for the rule of law and the Constitution.
Mogherini said the EU is continuing to support Kenya in these efforts, noting that the EU Election Observ滴雞精推薦ation Mission台中滴雞精門市 will stay in the country until the completion of the electoral process.
"Kenya is a key partner for the European Union in the region and we are committed to strengthening our relationship further after the electio懷孕滴雞精ns," she said. 雞精禮盒
