In order to proclaim the victor of the presidential candidate, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has finished verifying Form 34As and 34Bs.
Francis Gachuri of Citizen TV reports that the commissioners are only waiting to make the results in the remaining constituencies public from the National Tallying Center in Bomas, Kenya.
“It is almost a done deal. 259 constituency results so far verified, validated and declared, what remains is about 32 constituencies,” he said.
Adding:
“Those 32 constituency results have already been verified and validated, all that we are waiting for is the commissioners to come and declare those results publicly and tell Kenyans how those constituencies voted.”
Wafula Chebukati, the chair of the IEBC, is working on Form 34C, which totals the results for the presidential contenders.
Following the results’ declaration, Chebukati will present the president-elect with Form 34D as proof of their victory.
As the nation anxiously awaits the declaration of the result of the presidential election, the judiciary stated on Sunday that it was prepared to resolve any poll issues.
“Judiciary Committee on Elections chaired by SC Judge Mohammed Ibrahim prepares the institution to handle electoral disputes. It looks at training, financial & HR aspects to ensure disputes are efficiently dealt with. During this season, approach the court with confidence. We’re ready,” the Judiciary announced in a statement.
“The Judiciary Committee on Elections has concluded the training of all Judges, Judicial Officers and Judiciary Staff who will handle Election Dispute Resolution (EDR) matters,” Chief Justice Martha Koome who is the president of the Supreme Court assured election observers on election day.
