The electoral commission made huge progress in vote tallying yesterday, verifying and announcing results from 47 constituencies on the fourth of a seven-day window to release results of the presidential election.

United Democratic Alliance (UDA) candidate Deputy President William Ruto had a tally of 1,483,408 (47.76 per cent), while Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga had 1,660,405 (53.46 per cent) from 65 constituencies which had been verified and tallied by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission at the Bomas of Kenya.

It was a day of relative calm at the auditorium without the storm caused by politicians the day before amid heightened security. Azimio la Umoja August 13, 2022, held a meeting with elected leaders at the KICC, easing the tension and frayed nerves at Bomas and allowing the coalition to bring the list of verified constituency results to 96.
