Nairobi, Kenya: Prime Minister Raila Odinga says the scrutiny of results initiated by the judiciary has confirmed his cases that there were massive discrepancies in the tallying of presidential elections.
His lawyer George Oraro asked the Supreme Court to use the report to find that the elections results were not credible.
“You can’t rely on results as provided by the IEBC because even from exam of 25 polling stations you have variation of 3,347 additions between form 34 and 36,” Oraro told the court.
Oraro pointed out that the report did not throw a lot of light in this scrutiny since not all forms 36 had been scrutinized.

Raila asked the judges to consider the scrutiny as override all other submissions in the cases since it had been initiated by the court itself.
There were grave errors in documents from several constituencies.
Some had two forms 36 and others had varying number of voters yet others had incomplete numbers, Raila argued.
The PM said no re-tallying had been done on report of the 22 polling stations which they had raised issues with.
The scrutiny was based on the registered voters in the principle register provided by the IEBC.
“Even after the registers were closed there were still registrations of voters. No green book or special register was produced in court,” Oraro claimed.
He noted that according to the report forms 34 were missing from 10 polling stations.
“Neither ourselves nor this court have been provided with these form 34,”
He added, “You have remarks of more voters than those registered irrespective of where you are looking at.”
He said if the variances were considered the results would be that the winning candidate would not get 50 per cent plus one votes.
