Communiqué on the Situation in Kenya
The African Union Commission is seriously preoccupied with the recent happening in Kenya due to the presidential elections as well as the violence that followed the announcement of the results.
The Commission reiterates its attachment to democratic principles as stipulated in the Constitutive Act of the African Union and in the African Charter for Democracy, Elections and Governance, particularly, when it comes to free, fair and transparent elections, in conformity to the Declaration of the Union on the principles governing democratic elections in Africa.
The Commission hereby invites the parties concerned to be calm and to resort to dialogue and consultation in order to deal with the problems caused by the recent elections. The Commission further indicates its availability to assist them in this process.
