The ongoing ODM primaries are being closely monitored by several foreign missions. They include the US, UK, Canada and Germany, which have teams of observers. Although development partners usually monitor the General Election, this time tracking has been extended to party primaries. “We are keenly monitoring the nominations as part of our normal election monitoring process,” Pannel Jamie, from the Canadian High Commission, said. Other countries under the EU are monitoring not just the ODM nominations, but also those of the ruling Jubilee Party.
