NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug, 13 – Keen and observant journalist at the National Tallying center in Bomas of Kenya brought to the attention of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission a discrepancy in the number of votes awarded to William Ruto in Kiambu constituency.
“Thank you journalists for bringing this to my attention,” said commissioner Nyang’aya.
IEBC commissioner Justus Nyang’aya highlighted the matter saying that the UDA presidential candidate garnered 51,050 votes but it was noticed that there was an error in forms 34A which was corrected in forms 34C where the correct figure was captured as 41,050.
“There was an error in form 34A which was corrected in form 34C,” he said.
The 10,000 votes were erroneously awarded Ruto.
Also, in Thindigua primary station, Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya Alliance presidential candidate Odinga was captured as having received 11 votes while the correct figure was 111.
The discrepancies have since been sorted out.
