Polls Commission Half Way Through With Presidential Vote Tally CapitalFMKenya: Kenya
The Commission was yet to declare the results of the other 146 constituencies in a process marred by chaotic scenes over counter accusations by agents of leading candidates Raila Odinga of Azimio coalition and United Democratic Alliance's William Ruto.
The tallying of the results, which began on Thursday, kicked off at a slow pace, which worried the already restless and anxious Kenyans waiting to know the election's outcome. The Commission scaled up verification desks at the Bomas of Kenya - the Commission's national tallying center -- from five to twelve.The validation exercise involved comparing results of the Forms 34A - generated from 46,229 polling stations across the country, to Forms 34B containing constituency tallies submitted by 290 Returning Officers.

Kenya's Polls Body Halfway Through With Presidential Vote TallyThe Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is almost halfway through in the ongoing exercise of verifying and tallying presidential results. The commission had relayed verified results from over 140 constituencies of the 291 and is yet to declare the results of the remaining constituencies in a process marred by chaotic scenes over counter accusations by agents of leading candidates Raila Odinga of Azimio coalition and United Democratic Alliance's (UDA) William Ruto. IEBC has announced enhanced measures at the Bomas of Kenya during the verification of presidential results in a bid to expedite the process. In the revised rules of procedure, the electoral body's commissioner, Abdi Guliye, stated that only chief presidential agents from the four presidential candidates and their assistants will be allowed in the auditorium. Ruto's running mate Rigathi Gachagua has assured Kenya Kwanza supporters of a win in the recently concluded polls as the IEBC continues to tally the results at the Bomas of Kenya.

IEBC has recalled close to 10,000 votes were erroneously awarded to Ruto in Form 34B in the Kiambu Town constituency. The poll agency also noted that errors were made in the summation of Odinga's vote, reports Capital FM.
