The electoral body was criticized for overseeing a rigged election and transmitting results that they later referred to us numeric. There was a strangely constant gap between the incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga. However, the electoral body CEO Ezra Chiloba has defended the constant percentage difference between the Jubilee and NASA presidential candidates.
According to the CEO, the law of large numbers made it possible for the random results to normalize. The normalization process is what made the disputed presidential ‘numeric’ to have the 11% constant difference. Speaking on Citizen Television, Chiloba also said that there was nothing strange with results trickling in 5 days after the announcement of the winner of the August contest.
Meanwhile, NASA leader Raila Odinga has disputed an announcement by IEBC boss Wafula Chebukati that they agreed with NASA on opposition’s irreducible minimums. He promised to continue with the anti IEBC demonstrations.
“Do not be cheated that NASA has some agreement with IEBC and there is some progress we are party to. We have no such agreement and our faith in IEBC is zero,” Raila said.
