By AGGREY MUTAMBOMore by this AuthorThe Commonwealth has pulled out of the forthcoming fresh presidential election, citing security fears for its observers. On Tuesday, a Commonwealth spokesman confirmed the organisation will not be sending any observers on Thursday, but declined to discuss the matter further. “The Commonwealth is not deploying an election observation group for the presidential election,” the agency said in a short statement to Nation on Tuesday. However, the Nasa team later changed its mind and successfully convinced the Supreme Court to nullify the presidential election. Sources have told Nation that other major Western observers have also chosen to only deploy observers in Nairobi.
