Kenya Kwanza Deputy president candidate Rigathi Gachagua has called on William Ruto's supporters to relax as IEBC continues with tallying of final election results.

Acknowledging that the process is slow, he said that their business as a coalition was to verify forms 34A and 34B at the national tallying centre.

"All is well, relax good people. Don't be drawn into sideshows. We have no time for their usual drama, he said.

He accused their opponents of slowing down the process, with their agents delaying the exercise, adding that the Kenya Kwanza agents were patient, disciplined and respectful to the IEBC officials.

Going further, Gachagua said the presidential winner was likely to be announced  before the end of tomorrow.

"If the pace is maintained and they are restrained from causing further unnecessary delays the winner of the presidential vote should be announced before the end of tomorrow (Sunday)," he noted.

He also encouraged Kenyans to visit the IEBC portal to get accurate results.

"With a simple calculator,  add the numbers to know the winner such that the announcement by the National Returning officer will be a mere formality. Mbele iko sawa," Gachgua added.
