The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
By the next general election, Kenya is projected to have roughly 27 million registered voters. If we maintain a 75 per cent voter turnout rate-as we've seen in past elections-that translates to approximately 20 million ballots cast in 2027. Now, do the math: how many votes can actually be stolen?
Even under conditions of extreme manipulation, state capture, or institutional decay, it is virtually impossible to rig an election at a scale that overturns the will of the people in a landslide turnout. Suppose, for argument's sake, that a million votes are manipulated-whether by inflating turnout, altering results, or suppressing opposition strongholds.
