The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has begun uploading the first form 34Bs from the various constituencies in their public portal.
Just like the Form 34As, Forms 34B feature results calculated in the 48 counties, including the diaspora. However, the Forms 34B only has 291 results, with two uploaded so far at the time of publication.
This includes the first one uploaded from Saboti Constituency in Trans Nzoia County. Raila Odinga leads with 24,215 votes, followed by William Ruto with 23,610 votes, George Wajackoyah with 169 votes and David Mwaure with 66 votes.
In Ainabkoi Constituency; Ruto has 6,438 votes, Raila (717) Wajakoyah (15) and Mwaure (12).
To access the Forms 34B, you simply have to click on the icon in the IEBC portal which takes you to a drop-down showing Form 34A, Form 34B and Form 34C. You can access it here.
Once you click on Form 34B, you will be taken to a results page updated live, where the results for the Form 34B uploaded so far will be found.
The votes amassed by each candidate must be counted by the presiding officer who is expected to enter the respective votes in Form 34A, take a scanned image of that Form using the KIEMS device and send it to the presidential tallying centre.
They then avail a copy to the agents and observers and deliver the original to the constituency returning officer for onward transmission to the chairperson of the commission, who is the returning officer for the presidential election.
The constituency returning officer is required to collate all Forms 34A and prepare Form 34B and submit all the 34A together with the 34B to the presidential returning officer. It is worth it to note that there can be no discrepancy between the results recorded in Form 34A at the polling station and those transmitted electronically or even those received by the returning officer because it is the same form captured by the presiding officer, witnessed by the agents with a resultant five carbon copies.
In case of a discrepancy between Forms 34A and Forms 34B with respect to the entries for any polling station, the entry in the respective Forms 34A will be taken as the correct reflection of the results at the polling station.
The IEBC made public its results portal on Tuesday, August 9 and since then, Kenyans and media houses have been accessing it for tallying of their own results.
Royal Media Services (RMS) and Nation Media Group (NMG) launched platforms for Kenyans to access provisional results. NMG has been running theirs concurrently alongside the RMS through its Citizen Digital website platform, ahead of the announcement of the final results by the IEBC.
IEBC announced that at around 4 pm on Tuesday, 12,065,803 out of 22,120,458 registered voters had cast their votes. This had equated to 56.17 per cent of voter turnout excluding voting through the manual register.
This was against a total of 22,120,458, with an estimation by the commission of around 60 per cent, which would form the lowest in Kenya's voting history.
