It’s evident the process was not conducted as per the rules. Final tally for 201 polling stations of 207 are as follows; Francis Mureithi 47,582 Babu Owino 46,813," Mureithi posted on his social media page.

He added: "We now await the final court judgment after the finding are taken back to court."
