IEBC Dismisses Elections Results By NASA Showing Raila Defeated President Uhuru

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has dismissed the results released by National Super Alliance (Nasa) on Friday showing that its leader Raila Odinga trounced President Kenyatta in the August 8th, 2017 elections.

In a statement, the electoral commission accused the opposition outfit of presenting false information to Kenyans about the August 8th poll.

IEBC said that the information released by Nasa on Friday reveals what it termed as "a total misunderstanding of how the results system worked" during the polls.

”The presentation by NASA totally misleads the public on the results pathway, the servers, information on the public portal and the forms used to declare results. We can only conclude that this is a deliberate effort to create a non-existent reality about the elections of 2017,”IEBC Vice Chair Connie Maina said in a statement.

During a press conference at Intercontinental Hotel in Nairobi on Friday, Nasa unveiled a document that it claimed contained authentic and un-tampered results of the election that was nullified by the Supreme Court.

”This is it. This is the document that contains results of the election in 2017, in which more than 80 per cent of Kenyans participated,” Orengo said. ”In this document you'll find all the details of polling stations including their codes,” he added.

Results in the dossier showed that Raila garnered 8.1 million votes against Uhuru’s 7.9 million.

These people are mad. Just because their followers are fools who believe every garbage they spew out, they have come to believe that everyone else is a fool who would believe their nonsense.

I wonder whether the journalist who reported this story really knows the meaning of "trounced " One can't trounce another if the difference is only 200 thousand out of 15.9 million. I also agree with @Peacelover that the only gullible fools are idle ODM hooligans predominantly from Luo Nyanza. One can only imagine how many of them will needlessly lose their lives if their evil god decides to go ahead with this insanely treasonous self-coronation.

Why didn't NASA dispute 8/8 election numbers by asking for a recount instead of questioning the process? Too late now, 8/8 election was nallified making NASA current claim they won by numbers moot.

Liars and conspiracy theorists have no respect for facts, figures nor rule of law. Misrepresentation is an under estimation of this moral turpitude and cultic degeneration of legal standards.

If you think they are creating results then you are very free to prove them wrong and it's only by opening the server of the 8th August elections if you really want to maintain your reputation to the Kenyans.

IEBC was ordered to open the server and if they were doing the right thing they could have opened to prove NASA wrong. Now IEBC prove to the Kenyans that the results that NASA produced was wrong. Because you are trying to ignore them but to the Kenyans they need to see the formula not the answer
