Civil rights groups have joined the Opposition in disputing presidential results transmitted by the IEBC.
Under 'Kura Yangu Sauti Yangu', they said the results do not conform with constitutional requirements requiring the support of form 34A.
"Since it started announcing results yesterday, the IEBC has not made available, as required by law, copies of form 34A on its public portal," group chair George Kegoro said on Wednesday.
The group also claims IEBC is deducting votes from Opposition leader Raila Odinga and adding them to President Uhuru Kenyatta's tally.
He said results transmitted varied in forms acquired in Dagoretti North, Langata, Nandi Hill, Kisumu central and Kipchebor polling station in Ainamoi.
In Kilimani ward, Kegoro said, the form claims no rejected votes were recorded, contradicting portal results showing four votes.
He said the form also noted 508 valid votes while the IEBC portal reports 504.
He added that at South C's Kewi polling station, results from stream one contradict the valid votes recorded.
