The head of Kenya's election commission said Wednesday he could not guarantee next week's presidential election will be free and fair, citing interference from politicians and threats of violence against his colleagues. Odinga has called nearly daily protests against the poll and the election commission, pushing East Africa's largest economy — a stable Western ally in a chaotic region — deeper into turmoil. Oct. 26 will be the biggest demonstration of them all," Odinga told a crowd of several thousand cheering supporters in Nairobi.

Election staff attending training sessions in some opposition strongholds were attacked this week, police said.
