Pressure is piling on NASA leader Raila Odinga to renounce his withdrawal from repeat poll stand.
Western donors on Monday who are part of the European Union said his withdrawal is politically dangerous.
A senior diplomat from EU told Daily Nation that “We called on all actors to participate and respect the Constitution. We are reviewing the practical implications of this withdrawal.”
He said at this point, the Supreme Court should make a pronouncement on the matter.
“We regret this decision and we feel it would have been better if the Constitution, and the Supreme Court ruling, are respected,” he added.
Raila’s withdrawal has thrust the country into political crisis.
He insists there will be no elections but IEBC has remained on course stating all preparations towards October 26 repeat polls are in progress.
On the question of sanctions, the EU official said at the moment, they are considering none and that they anticipate there will be peaceful elections.
The EU together with foreign entities such as the UK and the US have funded various activities such as civic education and training at the IEBC to a tune of sh500 million.
Just last week, the EU, US and UK had warned of unspecified sanctions against trouble makers.
This follows demands by NASA against the IEBC.
NASA has been pushing for implementation of 12 irreducible minimums.
“Elections should happen as ordered. We had seen some demands from both sides as unreasonable,” further stated said the EU diplomat.
UK High Commission in Nairobi in a statement last week said: “The UK has called for a free, fair and peaceful presidential election in Kenya in line with the constitution. We are disappointed by opposition candidate Raila Odinga’s decision to withdraw from the contest scheduled for 26 October.”
The statement further added that all parties must work within set standards by the Constitution.
“We have been clear that the international community is watching Kenya and every step of its electoral process closely. Action should be taken against any individual engaging in or inciting violence. The UK reserves the right to take our own action at a later date, should it prove necessary, which includes considering the refusal or revocation of visas,” further added the statement.
