BREAKING: KENYA ELECTION ....... KENYANS NEED YOUR PRAYERS NOW...
Kenya opposition
presidential candidate Raila Odinga has said the electoral commission's IT
system has been hacked to manipulate the election results in favor of the seating presidnet , President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Mr. Odinga said the
partial election results being released by the electoral commission was fake.
"They (results) are
fictitious, they are fake," said Mr Odinga.
He further alleged early
results from Tuesday's vote indicating a strong lead for President Uhuru
Kenyatta was as a result of a system hack.
The electoral
commission is yet to respond to Mr Odinga's accusation, but politicians and
statesmen/women have called for calm.
It would be remembered
that the election violence of 2007 which cost the lives not less than 1000
Kenyans and left over 700,000 displaced is still fresh in the minds of many
affected families as well as every Kenyan and the world at large.
He (Mr Odinga) alleged
that the hackers gained access to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission (IEBC) computer system by using the identity of the commission's IT
manager, Chris Msando, who was allegedly ‘tortured to death’.
The opposition leader
had earlier told journalists the results coming in were "fake",
sighting the failure of the electoral mission to present documents, forms 34A
and 34B from the polling stations, to verify the results.
Electoral officials
say that with 91% of results in, Mr Kenyatta is leading with about 54.5%, to Mr
Odinga's 44.6%.
These results mean Mr
Kenyatta appears to be heading for a first-round victory. In order to avoid a
run-off, a candidate needs 50% plus one of the votes cast and at least a 25%
share of the vote in 24 of Kenya's 47 counties.
There were eight
candidates in all, but apart from Mr Kenyatta and Mr Odinga the rest had not
polled more than 0.3% of the vote.
