Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee party has said that nine members of the electoral commission's special team that will help organise the presidential election re-run are "known to be partisan".
The commission, the IEBC, has brought in new members to work on the 17 October vote, which was ordered after the Supreme Court annulled last month's election result. The Nasa alliance of Mr Kenyatta's main rival, Raila Odinga, called for changes in the IEBC make-up immediately after the annulment was announced last Friday.
And this was one of its conditions laid out yesterday for taking part in next month's re-run.
It is not clear if the IEBC set up the special team in response to Nasa's call.
In a letter to the IEBC, Jubilee says it has a "strong objection" to the deployment of this new team.
