Most Kenyans will readily accept the outcome of the August 8 General Election, new survey says. ELECTION VIOLENCEIt also revealed that 93 per cent of Kenyans believe that communities living around them exist harmoniously and cohesively. However, should there be violence, Kenyans believe that national politics might be the highest cause, at 49 per cent. CREDIBLE POLLSThe study also showed that 72.8 per cent of Kenyans believe the Independent Boundaries and Electoral Commission (IEBC) is capable of handling the elections well, and that 73.2 per cent believe the polls will be free and fair. IEBC leads in terms of confidence in institutions associated with elections, those that are trusted "a lot", at 66.2 per cent.
