Fears of further bloodshed has led Kenya’s election commission to postpone the planned voting in some opposition strongholds, with safety concerns for its workers cited as deadly clashes continued between police and protesters.

It was the second voting delay in four out of Kenya’s 47 counties, highlighting the bitter divisions and political uncertainty that have intensified after Thursday’s repeat presidential election, which was boycotted by supporters of opposition leader Raila Odinga.

Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o, the governor of the East African’s third-largest city also supported postponing the vote for the presidential election re-run and described counter plans as a “joke”.
It remains unclear when the voting will now take place.

Kenyan opposition areas such as the streets of Kisumu, as well as several Nairobi slums are reportedly quiet, though police used tear gas to disperse crowds in the slum of Kawangware.

The election commission had delayed voting in four out of Kenya’s 47 counties until Saturday because of violence. This new postponement is “until further notice” because of concerns for the safety of election workers.

At least six people have died in violence linked to the latest vote, including a man who was shot and killed in the Nairobi slum of Kawangware as security forces moved to quell fighting between gangs from different ethnic groups late on Friday, according to police.

The leadership team, which is made up of a former executive pastor of an evangelical mega church, a deacon and marketing and communications consultant, also call on people to submit churches to be considered.

However, Church Clarity’s website states it is not calling on these churches to change their policies.

In an interview with Vice, Tim Schraeder who spent more than 15 years working in marketing and communications for churches before leading the company explained how they score churches.

He said: “We curated the first batch of churches, but we’ve had almost 700 scored since we launched last week. All our scores are based on what’s easily and publicly accessible on a church’s website.

“Most parishes recognize that people looking for a faith community will go to their website, so they’ll usually lay out nicely what can be…
