MR. WAFULA CHEBUKATI MUST STOP THE MONKEY GAMES

On 11th August 2022 at about 1400 Hours, the provisional results across mainstream media outlets indicated that Raila was leading the pack with 6,452,516 whilst Ruto had 6,404 755, Wajackoyah had 56,620 and Waihiga had 29,072 votes translating to 49.5%, 49.12%, 0.43% and 0.22% respectively. The number of votes among the 4 presidential candidates stood at 12,942,963 against the 13,037,506 total votes cast. This meant that only 94,543 votes were yet to be counted. Essentially, the 94,543 votes that were yet to be counted amounted to a paltry 0.7%. Even if the entire 0.7% was to be given to Ruto (never mind the impossibility), Ruto's percentage would have stood at 49.7%. How Ruto jumped to over 50% at the tail end of tallying can only be attributed to Itumbi chronicles. But even more intriguing is how Wafula Chebukati, the IEBC Chairperson has kept the whole country guessing as to the total number of people who cast votes in the just concluded general election. At one point, he was heard saying that about 12 million cast their votes. On 11th August 2022, he abandoned that position and said that about 14 million out of the 22 million registered voters cast their votes. Take note that information from the IEBC portal puts the number at 13,037,506. Indeed, tabulation of the votes cast for the 4 presidential candidates shows that the total number of votes cast is 13 million. If Mr. Wafula Chebukati's figure of 14 million is to be acceptable, then it simply means that the sum total of the spoilt/rejected votes stands at over one (1) million! This would be the highest ever! Mr. Wafula Chebukati must stop the monkey games. What is at stake is the democratic health of Kenya.
