The dissenting IEBC commissioners including Juliana Cherera, Justus Nyang’aya, Irene Masit and Francis Wandera have elaborated their claims of opaqueness of the presidential results tally.
In a media briefing at Serena Hotel, the commission’s vice chair Juliana Cherera dismissed the figures announced by Chebukati, saying they lacked critical components.
According to Cherera, the aggregate tally exceeded the total votes cast and it also exceeded the 100% mark.
“The total percentage from figures displayed by the four leaders is 100.01% which translates to 142,000. This will make a significant difference in the final results,” Cherera said.
Further, she said that the four commissioners brought the issue to Chebukati’s attention but he insisted on announcing the results.
“We declined because the aggregation resulted in a total exceeding 100 per cent which cast out on the accuracy of source of figures tallied and when we demanded that we verify our records, the chairman declined, overruled us and insisted on announcing the results,” the commission’s vice chair said.
“Contrary to the constitution and legislation, the results declared did not indicate the number of registered voters, total number of votes cast or number of rejected votes if any. In this regard, the results by Chebukati lacked the total number of votes cast to support the percentages scored by the four candidates.”
