final telling process was opaque. the figure, the another with a melon void and must be of course bare co law. in our view, there's no legal under buddy declared will. now norah president elect the commission as i'm not aware of the cumulative results as the day goes by. so today is to the end, it does not given out. so you can not clearly see that we have tended 10000000 and this dead milan, this is how it is distributed. we have tell it 15, we have tell in terms of milan. how is it distributed? the public needed to and on the head of the electoral commission announced on monday that william router had received just over 50 percent of the vote. that's less than 3 percent ahead of a dingo action observers say the results are fair. you log raffle calls on all
7:03 pm
kenyan to remain calm and maintain peace under the circumstances we father call on the candidate to resolve disputes over election to revolt, including results for the presidential election peacefully through legal channel alive to malcolm web in nairobi. now, so why not? i think they're rejecting the results. what happens now waiting to find out. he didn't explicitly say he'd file a court petition, but he did say that they would try everything that was possible legally and constitutionally to overturn this result. just early short, while before he spoke, we heard from those 4 electoral commissioners who owns the result, they were giving a bit more detail for the reasons why they said that the percentages were. and i did post stated correctly. the percentage is attributed to each candidate,
7:04 pm
and they also said that they're concerned about the process had been ignored or disregarded by the chair of the actual commission. with me is patrick. it's our journalist and political commentator when it was a bit more about that. you heard what the 4 rebel commission is said earlier? what do you think about what they had to say? well, i think the reasons why they gave for devoting the result didn't add up. so for example, the mathematics will be used. the complaint about 0.01 percent of the vote, which really can be attributed to rounding off error. but also the fact that they said 0.01 percent recalls $142000.00 votes, which would imply that hard to population of $1400000000.00, which is actually not true. i also think that the, the reason when they say that was consulted for before the chairman gave
7:05 pm
me the declaration, the student will be rude on this. and i said this to the up to the commission of the i'm into the chairman of the commission of the returning officer for the presidential election to announce that his laws, who doesn't need to sit and consult with the commission. do you think that any of the concerns that they've raised could form part of a legal challenge to the election? well, i think if they did that we didn't really go too far because lots of them i use that have already been conversed before in the supreme court. and also we've got to keep in mind that you do not actually fit. he's going to court. he spoke of legal and constitutional means, which could include things like demonstrations which much than which my son right to top, the tension that are in the country. and i mean, he did say people with it, they should stay calm and that they would proceed. legal and constitutional processes. thing thing come for now and yes,
7:06 pm
seems calm for now. i think the cities coming back to life, the countries coming back from life over the past week or so. we've seen a real reduction in business activities because i've been close to 5 and been going to work flow. if it does go the route of topping street demonstrations, which again would be quite to go by down likely to stay peaceful for too long. and that could just mean more troubles hooking up ahead and a few hours before either doing it for collection observe is said that they essentially endorse the results by saying in their own parallel tally based on the sample of holding station. and they praise the i, b, c for greater transparency. was the poll more transparent than in the past? yes, i think it is probably the most transparent election. but can you hard all the results are put up on on the website and anybody could check them and it's good to note
7:07 pm
that neither no the the, the rebel commission is actually disputed. the results are on the portal. you know, so, and if they had a problem with them, they've had more than 5 days to essentially raise that and why it's coming up at the very tail end of the process when the declaration is made. makes this look quite suspicious. and father also the fact that these 2 press conferences seem to be for me to go ahead about the same time one waited till the other was done. and then they started off really, really fissions about the coordination of going on between the commissioners on the account. thank you. that was patrick janice, the political commentator here, when i read the back to you in the web live 1st the number be thank you.
