The four Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Commissioners led by Vice Chairperson Juliana Cherera have taken fault with the presidential results they disowned the previous day, which declared William Ruto as the presidential elect.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, August 16, Cherera revealed that the IEBC chairperson, Wafula Chebukati, had given them what she termed as the wrong aggregation of results.
According to her, Chebukati gave them a total of 100.01 per cent, meaning that 0.01 per cent was translating to around 142,000 votes which would make a huge difference in the presidential results.

Cherera noted that the four commissioners, including Francis Wanderi, Justus Nyangaya, and Irene Masit, rejected the presidential results because the accuracy of the source of the figures was not adding up.
She added that the results did not indicate the total number of registered voters, voters cast and rejected votes in this regard and they lacked a critical ingredient naming a total number of total votes cast.
"The percentage is a total of all numbers 7.7 million of Ruto translates to 50.49% then it was 50.49 of what. Take notice that Chebukati says Raila attained 25% of votes in 34 counties while Ruto attained 25% in 39 counties. Which figures constituted the variables of the percentages," Cherera posed.
"We concluded that the process that went into the generation of Form 34 C used to declare Ruto was opaque. Guided by the authority of the Maina Kiai case as upheld by the Supreme Court in 2017, we state categorically that the results of the elections declared by Chebukati belong to himself and do not represent that of IEBC."
She went on to state that the tallying was being done in the absence of the commissioners and was being done by the technical staff.
"By the time Wafula Chebukati was declaring the results, verification from certain constituencies had not been announced," stated Cherera.
IEBC Commissioner Justus Wanderi weighed in by claiming that the commissioners did not do the tallying and he further explained that the data was compiled by the technical team and submitted to the commissioners at 4:30 pm.
Moments before the results were declared, Raila's Chief Agent, Saitabao Kanchory alleged that the system used by the IEBC during the August 9 general elections was breached.
