    Joint Communique issued by International Observers in Kenya for the August 8 General Elections. The Observer Missions: Call on the political leaders and their supporters to ensure peaceful elections and respect for the rule of law as they go to the polls tomorrow and through the results process. We further call on them to uphold their commitments under the Electoral Code of Conduct which requires acceptance of the electoral outcome and seeking redress through the established legal channels. Look to the government of Kenya to uphold its constitutional obligations to provide a secure environment in which Kenyans can vote freely, and to the judiciary to adjudicate appeals in a fair and timely manner. Have deployed over 400 observers deployed across the country who will follow all aspects of election day and some will remain to observe the tallying process and post-election period. Wish the people of Kenya well as they proceed to the polls.
