The electoral agency may take longer than expected to determine the final tally of the repeat presidential election and declare President Uhuru Kenyatta winner.

On Friday, the commission began the tasking process of verifying all forms 34A and 34Bs at the National Tallying Centre at Bomas of Kenya in line with the Constitution and as affirmed by the Supreme Court on September 1.
