Envoys have threatened travel bans against politicians who sow anarchy or impede preparations for the October 26 repeat elections.
Sources within both Jubilee Party and Nasa did not divulge the details of the caution or the particular countries issuing it, but said the warning was the culmination of concerted efforts by the West to get the two sides talking and arrive at a middle ground on, among other things, how the repeat elections will be managed.
According to the sources, the envoys, among them US's Robert Godec and British Deputy High Commissioner Susie Kitchens, have been categorical that failure to hold the repeat polls as planned could plunge the country into a constitutional crisis.
Further, the diplomats are pushing the two parties to drop some of their demands and compromise, arguing that most of the requests cannot be met due to time constraints.
Nasa is demanding the sacking of IEBC officials implicated in the bungling of the August elections, as well the cancellation of tenders awarded to printer Al-Ghurair and technology company Safran Morpho.
Jubilee has, on the other hand, proposed a raft of amendments to the electoral laws in a contentious bill that seeks to reduce the powers of IEBC chairman as well as entrench the use of the manual vote transmission system, among other recommendations.
Nasa has called for demonstrations against the poll agency today in Nairobi and at county levels to push through the changes they want to be undertaken at the IEBC before the polls.
The protests, which the coalition says will be peaceful, will also target the Election Laws (Amendment Bill 2017), which Jubilee has sponsored.
