KENYA-VOTE

An official from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) directs a Kenyan voter during a mock-election at a polling station in Kajiado, some 130 km southwest of Nairobi on February 24, 2013. The IEBC runs the rehearsal eight days from Kenya's national elections viewed with an equal share of emotion and apprehension both locally and internationally and will be the first since bloody post-poll ethnic clashes that resulted in more than a thousand deaths. Presidential candidates in next week’s poll made a rare show of unity to rally Kenyans to vote peacefully and avoid violence witnessed during the last general election.
