By AFPMore by this AuthorWASHINGTONThe United States Wednesday expressed deep concern about the political crisis in Kenya and urged parties to resolve their differences over a disputed August 8 presidential election without resorting to violence. Kenyans are due to vote Thursday in a repeat of August's presidential vote, which was annulled after the Supreme Court found "irregularities" and mismanagement by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). "The United States urges all Kenyans to remain calm, reject violence, and uphold the principles of their Constitution in the election scheduled for tomorrow," US State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said. "It is essential that there be immediate, open, and transparent dialogue between all parties and the IEBC to resolve the issues. Now is not the time for strife to divide Kenya, it is a time for all Kenyans to come together."
