Local civil society observer groups have called on foreign observers not to give a blanket approval of Kenya's elections.
The groups have called for patience untill the whole proces is complete.
This came after a number of regional and international observers termed the Kenya 2017 general elections a success.
"We are concerned they may be speaking prematurely and solely on the experience of polling day. Polling day has never been the problem," Kura Yangu, Sauti Yangu's Gladwell Otieno said in a press briefing on Thursday.
"The problem begins after polling, particularly during and following the counting, tallying, transmission and announcement of results.
"To the extent that this election has been unable to overcome the familiar problems associated with results, we urge the observer teams to remain fully seized with the electoral observation effort before giving this election an unqualified stamp of approval."
