Duale argued that results announced at the polling station cannot be final because in the event there are mistakes in tallying, IEBC should have the powers to rectify them.

 "What if the returning officer in Central or Nyanza regions puts their own figures? Sometimes they are fatigued after working for long hours and they can make mistakes. Are we saying the commission at the national tallying centre cannot correct the errors?" Duale posed.

 This came as the IEBC fought to overturn the court's decision.
