A report by influential American NGO National Democratic Institute warns post-election violence is likely unless preventive action is taken. NDI's observer team has been in Kenya for several days, talking to actors in the election process. It would be unfortunate if we came to accept violence as inevitably following elections. We should have learnt lessons to enable us to navigate the election process without the prospect of fighting over outcomes. This means organisations like the NCIC and IEBC should engage communities early and police should prepare to arrest troublemakers before violence spreads.
