The electoral commission continued uploading and deleting forms 34A and 34B days after its chair Wafula Chebukati declared William Ruto the winner of the presidential election, an Azimio witness has claimed.
Chebukati declared Ruto president-elect on August 15. However, Arnold Ochieng Oginga, one of the Azimio witnesses, claimed in his court papers filed on Monday that the commission was substituting forms that had been uploaded on the portal as late as August 19, 2022.
According to him, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) numbers do not add up. The man claims Ruto was added 217,631 extra votes in form 34C since the figure did not match the total tally of forms 34A declared at polling stations in at least 33 counties.
