Uhuru Kenyatta will no doubt be declared president-elect by IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati.

It is a race he ran alone. The inclusion of Raila Odinga and other candidates on the ballot paper does not sanctify an otherwise unconstitutional, unlawful and sham election. The process’s legitimacy has been tainted by the boycott in opposition strongholds and attempts to project results to support Kenyatta’s August 8.2 million win despite low voter turnout.
