the 6000 was from the overall tally of form 36 which still didn't cut UK lead of 50+1. look at the court report that i have provided there are only 5 discrepancies in the 22 re tallied stations using the form 34. 2 the discrepancies in meru were opposed and evidence was provided proving that the discrepancies only fell on 3 areas. considering that these stations are only 22 of the 33000. look at the given report don't comment on what a person said in court. lawyers are liars and will lie win their case. use your head like i did and look for your own evidence. and for your info i voted for CORD but i can't stand it when a person had lie to try and become president at all costs. i was also an election observer working under a certain media house so i know that most of what CORD is purporting is a lie (MY OPINION)

If you pull back and take Raila out of your argument then you will view this whole petition differently.

IEBC failed to carry out a transparent and credible election with so many unanswered questions putting the validity of the whole thing in jeopardy. Its not really about Uhuru winning or Raila losing, it just happens that in this time of our political history, those are the two players.

That the High Court re-tallied only 22 polling stations out 291, leaves a lot to be desired. In essence they should have re=tallied all of them and see the numerous mistakes that were committed by the IEBC in the whole exercise. The key to the whole election is the voter register, which is in question, there was one that was released and gazetted and then there is this green book that Isaack keeps talking about.

Then explain how Nani is on record going as far as claiming that one station Kasipul Kabondo Primary School in Kasipul Kabondo had 0 voters registered due to shortage of BVR kits at the time but during voting transfered 600 voters to the school using the green registers who all voted for Raila.

Then just jog your memory with these reports from the Daily Nation and The Standard:

In Summary

  • Scrutiny shows some forms used to fill top seat results are missing while some areas have conflicting figures
  • Petitioners give results thumbs-up as IEBC and Uhuru team dismiss them

Missing forms, double results for some constituencies and discrepancies in figures are some of the mistakes revealed by vote re-tally ordered by Supreme Court.

Scrutiny of 22 polling stations full report


NAIROBI; KENYA: After the re-tallying of votes from 22 polling stations and an audit of all Forms 36 used in the March 4 election, the Supreme Court released the scrutiny report on Friday.

The lawyers representing electoral officials dismissed the errors revealed in the report as "clerical errors" and insignificant to the final outcome while the lawyers representing petitioners said there was "huge discrepancies" in the Forms 36 used in the final tally of presidential results and Uhuru Kenyatta could not have garnered the 50 per cent plus one vote based on the errors.

Thus in my humble opinion, based on the evidence as presented to the Supreme Court including the re-tallying and verification of Forms 34 & 36, the IEBC presidential election results announced on March 8, 2013 should be nullified by the Supreme Court.

In Summary

There are three likely scenarios

  • Judges may uphold election result, paving the way for Kenyatta’s swearing-in on April 9
  • Agree with Cord and nullify Jubilee’s victory, triggering a fresh contest
  • Accept Odinga’s allegations of irregularities but find them not significant enough to quash result

The Supreme Court will on Saturday deliver a historic judgment that will either clear the way for the swearing in of Mr Uhuru Kenyatta as Kenya’s fourth President, a run-off vote involving Mr Kenyatta and Prime Minister Raila Odinga or a fresh election.


The Supreme Court’s much-anticipated decision will end the stalemate over the outcome of the presidential election on March 4, 2013 that has kept the country anxious for the past two weeks.

Mr Odinga and the civil society group African Centre for Governance (Africog) filed the petitions challenging the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission’s declaration of Mr Kenyatta as the presidential election on March 9.

The six judges at the centre of national and international attention are Chief Justice Willy Mutunga, Justice Smokin Wanjala, Justice Philip K. Tunoi, Lady Justice Njoki Ndung’u, Justice Mohammed Ibrahim and Justice J. B. Ojwang’.

On Friday, the Chief Justice announced that the judges would work overtime to complete the ruling on Saturday. He held a brief session with lawyers for the petitioners and respondents at the Supreme Court in the morning, during which the lawyers made brief comments about a partial vote re-tallying the court had ordered as part of its hearing of the petitions.

According to experts interviewed by Saturday Nation, there are three possible outcomes of the petition.

Lawyer Nzamba Kitonga, who chaired the panel of experts who wrote the Constitution, said on Friday the ruling was expected to either bring the March 4 General Election process to an end or open a new battlefront by ordering a re-run or a fresh election.

“The ruling, and the case as a whole, is historic,” Mr Kitonga said. “It is exactly what we anticipated as framers of the Constitution promulgated in 2010 — a process which everybody watches as it executes itself.”

If the court finds that the various claims of election irregularities are not proven, it is will order that the results declared by the IEBC stand.

This will pave the way for President-elect Kenyatta to be sworn in as Kenya’s fourth President. The decision of the Supreme Court is final.

In the second scenario, the Supreme Court could nullify the results and order a fresh election.

Constitutional lawyers are, however, not agreed as to what a “fresh election” means.

Some argue that it will mean a run-off between the two leading candidates — Mr Kenyatta and Mr Odinga.

Lawyer George Kegoro said the wording of the Constitution on the matter is rather vague. “In the event that the election is nullified, the constitutional phrasing is wide enough to give the Supreme Court sufficient room to decide what a fresh election means — a run-off between the leading candidates or a new election in which other candidates can also participate,” said Mr Kegoro, also the executive director of ICJ-Kenya.

While completing his submission on Thursday evening, Mr Ochieng’ Oduol, one of Mr Odinga’s lawyers, said the court should determine whether Mr Kenyatta garnered the 50 per cent-plus-one of the votes cast as declared by IEBC.

“The jurisdiction to examine and declare is catered (for) in this court,” Mr Oduol said, adding the court should tell whether Mr Kenyatta was validly declared President-elect.

But Attorney-General Githu Muigai, appearing as a friend of the court, argued that nullifying Mr Kenyatta’s election could result in fresh polls for all the six elective posts.

Mr Muigai said the court should consider the consequences of its decision as the law gave two different meanings of fresh elections. The same argument was advanced by Mr Katwa Kigen, for Deputy President-elect William Ruto.

Acha uchaguzi urudiwe ili Raila azikwe rasmi.He claimed he won the election with 5.7m votes against Uhuru's 4.5 yet he has failed to prove it,where did the over 1.2m votes for Uhuru come from...Even the so called 22 polling stations that CORD claimed there was irregularities,re-tallying has shown an insignificant difference mathematically speaking.Acha uchaguzi mpya uitishwe ili Raila apewe another kick in his crotch to send him to a nightmarish retirement...

why are u shifting the goal post, what do u stand for, earlier umeseme, uhuru could have not crossed 50 +1, i.e ana 49.?%, hapa wasema hiyo difference ya 6000, can not reduce 50 +1, mara ume vote kwa cord, mara warongo, mara anatakuwa President at all cost, hivi aliye form Munguki alikuwa Odinga? aliye rig 2007 alikuwa Odinga?

as i put it iin my opinion it is true even if they deducted 6000 votes from the final it would not chane anything. my argument is that the whole idea of massive rigging does not stand and yes i did infact vote for Raila considering i come from a URP stronghold. Yes i think he is trying to be president at all costs because why insist of chipping away the +1 votes only it is so that he can have a second go at it. what really put me off and made me loose support for him is him going on campaign rallies claiming he won by over 1m votes even the CORD legal team has not claimed that. is this not a man who wants to stir up trouble so that he can pressure the courts. yes lets say UK got 49% or so WHAT IF THE COURT RULES THAT THE REJECTED VOTES DON'T COUNT IN THE FINAL TALLY. would the argument shift to UK rigging with over 100,000 votes. because the election act clearly states that rejected votes do not count. CORD evidence failed to prove massive rigging as claimed by the petitioner even the special register and green book was no secret to all the over 33000 or so IEBC staff and political party agents it only became an issue a few days into the tallying they should have raised the issue during the voting process.Why wait until you are loosing to claim the same. The registers were in all polling stations irrespective of support base the CORD legal team originally claimed that the 30000+ of the special register were only in UKTO strongholds but it was later proved to be a lie in fact some of the petitioners support base had the largest numbers of people in the special register and green book.

so all in all CORD has failed to prove its case with each of their claims being ripped to shreds.

Right, kasoro zipo ila I do not think they can warrant kutenguliwa kwa matokeo.
 
Nafikiri hizo missing zinatakiwa zionyeshe zilim-save Uhuru, yani ya kwamba hizo missing yawezekana pia kuwa zilimsave Raila kupata kura alizopota. Hii ni two hand-shake process. Inatakiwa kuonyesha wazi makosa hayo yaliongeza kura kwa Uhuru. Hata hivyo the clock is clocking down its ticks.
