However, EU is maintaining a small group of staff who are more of like in holiday than serious election observation saying that they will only be monitoring key aspects of the elections and reporting on the same.
The head of EU observer mission in the country Marietje Schaake has been considered more of someone in holiday than doing serious work of observing the elections. She was accused by NASA of being part of the team of imperialists who are determined to impose a leader on Kenyans.
The elections will be held on 26th October with NASA already saying that they will neither participate nor allow the elections in parts of the country which they control.
