Tallying centers where elections results will be announced

IEBC chairman and presidential returning officer Wafula Chebukati on Tuesday said election results are being tallied at the National, county and constituency levels.

The national tallying centre at the Bomas of Kenya caters for presidential elections. County tallying centres sort out the governor, senate and woman rep seats.

Constituency level deals with Members of the national assembly and members of the county assembly.

Speaking at the Bomas of Kenya, Chebukati said proper planning and management of tallying centres is key to a transparent and credible election.

Tallying and counting the votes started as early as 6 pm in some centres.

At the National Tallying centre, there will be verification of transmitted images of transmitted Form 34As.

For one to be declared president-elect he must get 50 plus one of the total votes cast.

The electoral commission can take up to seven days to tabulate the votes upon the conclusion of voting.

"We call for patience among Kenyans as we undertake this vigorous exercise and we endeavor to complete this exercise," Chebukati said on Tuesday evening.
