- Incoming provisional results released by the IEBC shows Uhuru is leading the presidential race
- He has 1.5 million votes more than his main challenger, Raila Odinga
-However, NASA released their own tally from their parallel center and Raila is leading by hundreds of thousands of votes
The National Super Alliance on Wednesday, August 9, rejected the presidential election race results in which its candidate, Raila Odinga, continues to trail behind incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta. According to the opposition brigade, the results were a fraud following a sham election.
They also produced their own evidence that someone allegedly hacked into the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and manipulated the results to show Uhuru was winning the race.
This was followed by demands to the poll body to stop transmitting the incoming results to national television stations. For hours, the poll body complied.
“Those results are neither verified nor backed by Forms 34As an 34 Bs. It is a bizarre phenomenon that Uhuru stayed in the lead by a consistent 11%. It never went up or down.An algorithm was introduced into the IEBC databases hich basically mounted a formula to create a fixed gap between Uhuru and I,” said Raila at a NASA press conference.
At the time of the presser, Raila was trailing Uhuru by just a little over a million votes. Minutes later, the opposition alliance took to social media and released their own proof that Uhuru was not leading in the race.
According to their results from their parallel tallying center, Raila leads the race by 8, 452,134 votes while Uhuru trails behind him with 7,846,528 votes. Days before the August 8 election, NASA’s parallel tallying center became a contentious issue.
Hooded men alleged to be police raided their center and carted all their electronic away e after holding staff inside the offices hostage for hours.
The Jubilee government was also against their main challengers having their own tallying center but Raila told everyone casting doubt on NASA’s intentions that they should rest easy because all they would be doing is tallying and not usurping IEBC powers to announce their own results.
Currently, even as NASA heads to court about the results, Uhuru is leading the race with 8,029,889 votes as Raila trails him with 6,610,208 votes.
