Oct. 18 (UPI) -- Roselyn Akombe, a member of Kenya's election commission, cast doubt on the credibility of her country's upcoming presidential election and said death threats forced her to flee to the United States.
She resigned from her position on the board of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission on Wednesday, eight days before Kenya holds its second presidential election in less than three months. The Kenyan Supreme Court annulled the results of an August vote but opposition leader Raila Odinga pulled out of the second vote, scheduled for Oct. 26, last week. Incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to be re-elected.
