katherine so he joins us live from camp alla and katherine it's not really a surprise given that mrs bennet been declared the winner but present the speed with the results. no surprise the toll is nice but after the declaration of this result the electoral commission took some questions like how can the election be. be described as fair and transparent following the polls pre-election violence we've seen in the last few months the security forces have been accused of using excessive force and some opposition candidates and their support says some opposition candidates have been blocked from come paining freely complaining as they wanted to they while also put to task to explain how the tallying process can be fair when i declare a show results because there is some form one not getting through presidential candidates and that agents on time so they said some of this meshes but to continue doing the complaint peter wrote because of calls with $1000.00 restrictions that maintained that they believe they have run a credible and inclusive election we are also expecting to hear from the presiden
