EU casts doubts over Kenyan poll

Kenya's presidential poll, December 2007, was 'flawed' and 'fell short of international standards', EU election monitors said in an interim report on the poll, January 2008. Violence across the country caused more than 150 deaths in the wake of the published results of the election.
