It’s been a dramatic day in Kenya after Kenya opposition presidential candidate Raila Odinga accused the electoral commission of announcing FAKE UNVERIFIED results. He claimed that the Electoral Body (IEBCs) IT system was hacked to manipulate the election results. Odinga said that Fake results had been posted on the electoral body transmission portal to indicate that President Uhuru Kenyatta had a strong lead without the legally mandated Forms 34 A and B to prove that the results were real. He described the results posted as a "massive" fraud.
Odinga posted evidence online which he claimed showed the election servers were hacked. Electoral Body (IEBC) website put Uhuru Kenyatta in front with 54.4 percent of votes counted, and Odinga at 44.8 percent for Odinga. This is a margin of nearly 1.4 million votes, after 94 percent of the votes were counted.
Section 39 of Kenya’s Elections Act requires IEBC to stream Form 34s on the public portal.
Odinga in a twitter statements said “ We reject the results streamed so far and demand IEBC produces Form 34As from all polling stations before any further results are announced”
“We know some persons gained entry into the IEBC Election Management Database & took over the mandate of Kenyans to choose leaders.”
He said; “ NASA's tallying of actual Form 34As from yesterday's election indicates the Presidential votes so far as: NASA - 8.1m Jubilee - 7.2m”
“The fraud Jubilee has perpetuated on Kenyans surpasses any level of voter theft in our country's history. This time we caught them.”
A Presidential candidate in Kenya’s poll needs 50% + one vote for a victory in the first round.
Mr Odinga, 72, has run for president three times. He disputed the 2007 elections that had him leading, before the incumbent Mwai Kibaki suddenly surged in numbers and won. His rival and current President Kenyatta, is the 55 year old son of Kenya's founding President Jomo Kenyatta. Mr Kenyatta and his running mate current Vice President William Ruto were indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for their alleged roles in the the country’s post elections killings that happened after the disputed 2007 elections. The case was eventually dismissed by the ICC after key witnesses died or disappeared mysteriously.
