 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Clashes over land that have killed hundreds of people and other deadly violence are endangering next week's general election, which is shaping up to be the closest in Kenya's history, officials said Friday.
The European Union's chief election monitor in Kenya condemned the violence in the western part of the country, where tribal clashes have been raging all year. Aid workers and activists say the conflict has been fanned by politicians seeking votes in the Dec. 27 election.
"We have noted with concern the level of violence that has taken place during the electoral process particularly in Kuresoi and Mount Elgon," Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, chief EU election monitor, said on a trip to hotspots around the nation.
