The European Union Election Observation Mission to Kenya has expressed pleasure with the Kenyan elections so far.
Head of the Mission Marietje Schaake said although there had been a few hitches, everything was proceeding generally well as expected.
“For me I arrived here when people were patiently waiting in long lines. There were a lot of people here as you can see and I have not seen any issues myself,” she said.
“The goal was not only to look at what one person sees but the we have also got 130 observers all over the country and together, we can get a sense of what is happening all over the country,” she stated.
She indicated that a more comprehensive statement would be made at the end of the process.
“We will look at the full picture and the day is long but as you can see here, people are eager to cast their votes, they have been waiting in line to exercise their democratic right,” she said
