WikiLeaks has released 29 voicemails stolen from the Democratic National Committee, and they include several from unidentified party members upset by Bernie Sanders' influence on the party.

The anti-Sanders messages are included with mostly run-of-the-mill messages about upcoming Democratic events that WikiLeaks selected for release on Wednesday.

The latest release comes in the middle of the Democratic National Convention where Hillary Clinton has officially been named the party's presidential nominee.

It is the second batch in a series that has deeply rattled the party and prompted the organisation's chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, to step down.

One caller objects to Sanders' choices for the party's platform committee and doesn't even want the Vermont senator to have a speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention.

The caller - speaking about Sanders - says "he's not a Democrat. Please stop this man now."

Another complains about the role given to Sanders supporter Cornel West, who's been highly critical of President Barack Obama.

The release follows more than 19,000 stolen DNC emails that WikiLeaks published on its website last week.
