(v) Errors in the Voting, Counting and Tabulation of Results [33] Relying on the affidavit of George Kegoro of 'Kura Yangu Sauti Yangu initiative’, counsel for the petitioners submitted on the above issues that the results announced by the Returning Officers were not openly and accurately collated. They contended that the results tabulated in Forms 34A differed significantly from those captured in Forms 34B and also those displayed in the IEBC maintained public portal. [34] Counsel contended that in numerous instances, IEBC deliberately inflated votes cast in favour of the 3rd respondent. As a consequence, they further argued, it is impossible to determine who actually won the presidential election and/or whether the threshold for winning the election under the Constitution was met. [35] On the averments in the affidavits of Mohamud Noor Bare and Ibrahim Mohamed Ibrahim, it was contended that IEBC illegally and fraudulently established un-gazetted polling stations in Mandera County which were manned by un-gazetted and undesignated returning and presiding officers. [36] Based on the averments in the affidavits of Dr. Nyangasi Oduwo and Godfrey Osotsi, the petitioners contended that on the 8th August, 2017, at around 5.07 p.m, barely 10 minutes after closure of the polling stations, IEBC started streaming in purported results of the presidential vote through the IEBC web portal and the media with constant percentages of 54% and 44% being maintained in favour of the 3rd respondent and the 1st petitioner respectively.
