During the verification process of the presidential results on Saturday,
IEBC flagged 10,000 votes erroneously tallied in favour of Deputy President William Ruto from Kiambu Town Constituency.
Initially, the Commission announced DP Ruto of UDA was leading in the Constituency with 51,050 votes against Raila’s 14,860 despite the total valid votes standing at 56,546.
This was 10,000 votes more than the votes cast.
Both David Mwaure and George Wajackoyah got 318 votes each.
Registered votes 87076
Valid votes 56546
Rejected 392
Raila Odinga 14860
William Ruto 51050
Mwaure 318 Wajackoyah 318
However, after journalists brought up the issue with the Commission, this was fixed.
Making the revision, Nyang’aya stated that Ruto received 41,050 votes rather than the 51,050 previously reported.
“In form 34B there was an error, that was corrected in form 34C,” he explained.
In addition, In Thindigwa Primary it was captured that 11 voted for Odinga instead of 111.
