IEBC Publishes Data Evidence of 7.6 Million Voter Turnout

IEBC Publishes Data Evidence of 7.6 Million Voter Turnout

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has released evidence showing that about 99 percent of voters who cast their ballots in October 26th repeat election were identified through electronic means.

IEBC says the data was obtained from French ICT firm OT Morpho, which supplied technology services to the electoral commission in the fresh election.

The data by IEBC comes a day after opposition leader Raila Odinga disputed the 7.6 million voter turnout reported by the commission, saying that Kiems kits show only 3.5 million voters took part in the poll.

Data from OT Morpho shows that the actual numbers of voters who cast their ballot in last Thursday's election stood at 7,575,806 voters.

Valid votes stands at 7,616,217, with 37,713 representing rejected votes in an exercise where 7,653,930 participated. OT-Morpho’s data further shows that of the total 7,653,930 voters, 5,525,487 voters were identified using biometric finger identification, 1,622,276 were identified via alpha-numeric search, while 428,043 were identified in the voters' register manually.

An alpha-numeric search identification is where a passport or identity card number is keyed into the Kiems kit to establish whether one is a registered voter.

Before the declaration of the winner of the October 26th election, IEBC faced an uphill task explaining the exact number of voters who took part in the exercise. IEBC had initially indicated the voter turn our at 48 percent, before chairperson Wafula Chebukati estimating it at 6.5 million voters.

The IEBC gave the final voter turn out at about 7.6 million voters, which raised more questions from Nasa.

Yeah @Doreen, we need baba to sanitize the figures. If he says they are real then they are real. Period. In the meantime, you don't need your collective lies clouded with fact, no?

Oh No! It can't be 7.6 million. Turn out was 2.5 million. Rebel Raila of NRM will be screaming in an effort to justify upcoming civil disobedience. Thuggery is illegal. Lives will be los and I can assure you someone is knocking at the ICC,

Something is cooking:

1. OT MORPHO is on the path of redeeming it's international image. They made some crazy revelations. That only 3.5M Kenyans voted. They have both names and location of each KIMS KIT. Secondly, they have data and information how votes have been ballooned and clearly are able to demonstrate where the entire process took place since KIMS KIT were capturing the geographical positions. This information is with EU lead observer Ms Maria and it's in the EU Parliament. Raila and NASA have raw data of this information. Something worrying much IEBC and Jubilee at the moment.

2. Based on the OT MORPHO revelations, the EU election observer mission says the Thursday polls were a sham.

3. Yesterday evening the EU, US ambassadors visited Raila at his office. They then later extended their mission to state house. The reason why Uhuru delayed showing up at the Bomas. The diplomats are aware well informed about the OT MORPHO dossier. They urged both Raila and Uhuru to negotiate and if possible form a government. Raila never gave them an answer, same to Uhuru.

Kenyans, tighten up your belts. Some heavy bumpy storms awaits the country. Take a lot of caution!

@Nyambura, you are the mother of all lies. I will not write on this forum her name. Ballot papers are still in the boxes which can be counted to prove you are lying.

Fake numbers to justify a sham election.Anything to make it look legit.You forgot that the shoe also fits on the other foot.When tasked to defend the validity of those numbers in court you will fumble and fold like a cheap suit.Why do you continously insult the intelligence of the electorate.Then again I cannot blame you .You are simply following orders from above.
