Kenyan Election Commissioners Resign after Deadly Protests
Kenyan Peaple.
Nairobi - Arab Today
All members of Kenya's electoral commission have resigned ahead of next year's presidential election, after waves of opposition protests called for them to go, a senior government official said.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has received the resignation letters of the 10 commissioners, including the chairman.
At least five people died when police opened fire at opposition supporters who held a series of demonstrations in May and July to demand the commissioners' resignation, accusing them of bias and corruption.
