Kenya: Recall efforts undertaken against 6 MPs

Recall efforts have been started against six ODM MPs, Gideon Ochanda, Elisha Odhiambo, Caroli Onondi, Emmanuel Wangwe, Memusi Kanchory and Bernard Shinali, after they voted against their party's position on a Finance Bill (they voted in favor). 

Kenya's law requires a High Court finding of a violation of either the Election Act, gross violation of the constitution, misconduct or mismanagement of public funds. The petition requires signatures of 30% of voters and 15% from each ward, and there is an absentee veto, where the recall needs at least 30% turnout for the recall to count.
