---"The question mark over the election led to a startling comment to the BBC from the British Foreign Secretary David Miliband on Wednesday: "We don't know who won."
The implications of that are huge. It means that Britain at least, and therefore possibly the European Union, will not recognise the right of Mwai Kibaki to the Kenyan presidency.
The United States backtracked when the irregularities in the election counting were revealed by the EU's monitoring team. The state department initially congratulated Kenya for its "largely peaceful and orderly voting" and asked "all candidates to accept the Commission's final results."
Later the spokesman referred to "serious concerns" about the vote and said he "was not offering congratulations to anybody". And finally the US and UK issued their joint statement that pointedly avoids any support for the declared result. "
