Kenya election is heating up day after day and the violence ravaging the nation is unprecedented. Reports today (BBC News) suggest that a senior member of Kenya's electoral commission (IEBC) has resigned, saying the country is unable to hold credible elections next week.

Roselyn Akombe said the IEBC was under political "siege", unable to reach consensus or take any decisions. Now in the US, she told the BBC she had feared for her safety while in Kenya after receiving numerous threats.

Last week, opposition leader Raila Odinga pulled out of the 26 October presidential re-run. The Supreme Court annulled the result of the original 8th August, 2017 poll, which saw current President Uhuru Kenyatta declared winner, after finding irregularities and illegalities.

In an interview from New York, Ms Akombe said:

"The election commission's IT head, Chris Msando, was "brutally murdered" before the August poll, and "you'll be suicidal to think that nothing will happen to you". "I have never felt the kind of fear that I felt in my own country," Ms Akombe told the BBC.

"I have tried the best I could do given the circumstances. Sometimes, you walk away, especially when potentially lives are at stake. The commission has become a party to the current crisis. The commission is under siege. "The commission in its current state can surely not guarantee a credible election on 26 October 2017."

Politicians everywhere in Africa are the same with rigging elections. Uhuru Kenyatta will never allow the election commission to decare anyone but himself the winner. In neighbouring Rwanda Paul kigame declared himself winner in a sham.Kigame is so ruthless he kills opposition figures, even those who have fled are pursued outside the country. ln nigeria anything goes during elections - ballot box snatching, burnings, shooting, killings etc. This is what is called democracy!
i despise that beast call uhuru kenyatta wit great passion.is a political adventurist that wnt to remain in power at all cost after organising a sham election for kenyans.he knew in a free and fair election raila odinga will trounce him out of office bt he is realy counting on rigging and subverting majority decision.shame on EU and AU election observers that certify the august 8 election as free and fair,bt also praise goes to david maraga kenya chief justice who in his voice and wisdom said nd i quote,THE GREATENESS OF OUR COUNTRY LIES IN IT FIDELITY TO IT CONSTITUTION AND STRICT ADHERENCE TO RULE OF LAW AND ABOVE ALL THE FERA OF GOD bfor annulling the election.

What are you saying sef, kenyatta is the greatest democrat in africa and please take it from me. Raila odinga is a looser and he should stick with being a looser, i wonder how a country like kenya would allow somebody like raila odinga to hold them ransom.

The election in Kenya was won fair and square by uhuru but the Supreme Court overturn it and call for fresh elections, a good leader honored the decision by the Supreme Court, how many Supreme Court judgment has a sitting leader honored in Africa. Not even jacob zuma of south Africa would honor such. I swear i do not know why people cannot read, before the comment.

Why is it so difficult for we Africans to do anything right?!
becos we are too obsess about power forgetting that is temporal.uhuru is the problem and he is the incumbent president that is hell bent on holding on to power at all cost.i think what trigger this political primonition is in the inability of the president to reorganise the electoral umpire,the opposition figur argues that, a ref that officiate a match that was cancel by fifa or caf on the ground of interest that he or she who supervise the game can not be assign to supervised the subsequent match coming up between this same football club.so it was on dis ground that he threatened to boycott the election or the election official are changed because the public no longer has confidence in them as it now obvious they are their to do the biddings of the government in power.but after much pressure has been expend no reform in sight,raila odinga took to the media and formally announces his decision not to partake in the election a decision that does not goes well wit his traditional stronghold supporters that has now trigger political and social upheaval.i pray for divine intervention to nip this situation becos kenya has histroy of political violence tht claims lives in thousands.

The supreme court ruling in this country seems to have made Raila fans blind. They are speaking so much trash as if reality will rot away. Raila was beaten and should the election be repeated will be beaten by an even bigger margin. Uhuru just has the numbers and that is the painful pill that Raila supporters will have to swallow. Most Kenyans cannot stand his violent tendencies.

First of all the election was annulled by maraga a corrupt and biased fellow, am sure you know the NASA guys were against him before the ruling and suddenly he is their savior, Maraga is also a known friend of raila odinga and everyone knows this, don't forget raila is a former prime minister and the son of the first vice president of Kenya.

Am not pro Uhuru or Anti Raila , but note that this guy has just used less than 5 years in power and under uhuru, kenya has seen soaring economic growth and tourism boost. Who knows kenya in 2011 Am not saying there is no corruption in kenya but atleast this guy is better than the virus called raila odinga.

I can assume kenyans are wiser than Nigerians; No body wants a repeat of the current clueless government we have in power

Now some dump heads would appreciates the greater good Johnathan did for this country by letting go even with evidence of fraud against him n the opportunity to fight back which makes him a rare hero despite whatever short comings he might have had,something "saint" buhari will never do even at the point of death.

Do you stay in Kenya ? WHat is your take?

Never mind about the political impasse it happens every 5 years. Odinga will run up and down, make all the demands, maybe get them, possibly plunge the country into chaos, do whatever he pleases but at the end of the day he will be defeated. Thats just it! He cannot force people to elect him. Raila's biggest weapon is the threat of violence. He simply does what he wants because he threatens everybody that there will be violence and people sort of let him do what he wants. I hope he gets all the electoral reforms he wants. ALL OF THEM, so that when he is beaten again he will accept once and for all. For me it has reached a point where I hope he retires completely from politics.

If you think you know Raila by following him since 2007 then you should consider yourself a toddler. Verse yourself with his personality starting from his 1982 attempted coup that would have made this country another Somalia.
