Kenya is this month expected to set up a panel to oversee an audit of the 2022 electoral process, including the presidential election whose outcome was disputed by the opposition and a faction of electoral commissioners.

The opposition Azimio One Kenya Alliance Coalition Party on Monday named three persons, including a former attorney-general and a forensics expert, to represent it on the six-member panel.
