Mathematical headache: Was Chebukati's vote tally opaque? (The Star, Kenya)

IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati speaks when he launched the national tallying centre at the Bomas of Kenya on August 9, 2022. Image: FILE.

"This summation gives us a total of 100.01 per cent. This translates to 50.49 per cent of the vote for Ruto, 48.85 per cent for Raila, o.23 per cent for Waihiga and 0.44 per cent for Wajackoyah. For example, Ruto was declared winner with 7,176,141 votes translating to 50.49 per cent of the vote, according to the IEBC. If we work with the actual voter turnout (14,466,779) minus the rejected votes (113,614) we also end up with slightly different percentages of votes attained by each of the four presidential candidates. The figures show Ruto got 50.489494332 per cent, Raila had 48.848681329 per cent, Wajackoyah had 0.435998049 per cent while Waihiga had 0.225052358 per cent, translating to 99.999226068 per cent. Vice chairperson Juliana Cherera and commissioners Francis Wanderi, Irene Masit and Justus Nyang'aya said they could not own the presidential results because of the opaque nature of the final phase of their verification. This translates to 14,466,779, the number of voters who turned up and voted. The 0.01 per cent translates to approximately 142,000 votes which will make a significant difference in the final results," Cherera said at a press conference shortly before the results were announced. • Vice chairperson Juliana Cherera and commissioners Francis Wanderi, Irene Masit and Justus Nyang'aya said they could not own the presidential results because of the opaque nature of the final phase of their verification. • They said the summation of percentages of votes attained by each of the four presidential candidates defies logic. The word is now all too familiar to most if not all Kenyans, thanks to four IEBC commissioners who denounced the results of the August 9 general election. It defines the word as "difficult to understand or not clear" in reference to speech or writing.
