1 ST AND 2ND RESPONDENTS' JOINT REPL YING AFFIDAVIT

I, AHMED IS SACK HASSAN, a resident of Karen, Nairobi and of Post Office Box Number

45371-00100 Nairobi do hereby make oath and state THAT:

1. I am the Chairperson of the 15t Respondent, Independent Electoral and Boundaries

Commission (hereinafter "the Commission',), having been appointed as such vide Kenya

Gazette Notice Number 14091 of201land I am also the 2nd Respondent herein. I am also an

Advocate of the High Court of Kenya (annexed hereto and marked "AIH-I" is the Gazette

Notice No. 14091).

2. I am fully seized of the facts herein and duly authorized by the Commission, and hence

competent, to make this affidavit on my own behalf and on behalf of the Commission.

3. I have read and understood the Petition dated 15th March 2013, and filed in this Court on

16th March 2013 and the supporting affidavits filed in support thereof and I make this .-affidavit in response thereto. I have further been advised by the Commission 's Advocates on

matters of law relating to the said pleadings and affidavits and verily believe the said advice

to be sound in law. 1

Page 6: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

)

4. By virtue of Article 138(10} of the Constitution of Kenya, 20 I 0 ("the Constitution"), I am

mandated to declare the result of a Presidential Election, and deliver a notification of the

result thereof to the Honourable the Chief Justice and the incumbent President of the

Republic of Kenya.

5. The Presidential election conducted on 4th March 2013, saw a total of 12,221,053 votes cast,

out of which Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta garnered 6,173,433, being 50.07% of total votes cast,

thus satisfied the requirements of Article 13 8(4) of the Constitution ' to be declared the

President-Elect. The Commission also adopted the results of the election. The (annexed

hereto and marked "AIH ]" is the summary of the presidential election result and Minutes

of the Commission meeting adopting the said results).

6. I thereafter declared Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta as the President - Elect on the 9th March 2013, as

a result of the General Election held in the Republic of Kenya on 4th March 2013 and which

election and declaration is now the subject of the present proceedings before this

Honourable Court (annexed hereto and marked "AIH 3 A and B" are true copies of the

relevant declaration and the subsequent Gazette Notice).

THE DEPLOYMENT AND USE OF VARIOUS TECHNOLOGICAL/ ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN THE PREPARATION FOR AND IN CONDUCT OF THE GENERAL ELECTIONS

7. The Commission, in the exercise of its mandate under Articles 86 and 88(4) of the

Constitution, and Section 4(m) of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission

Act, deployed the use of appropriate technology and approaches in the performance of its

functions .

8. The introduction and subsequent implementation of the various IT systems in use by the

Commission, particularly in the 4th March 2013 general elections, have been addressed in

2

Page 7: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

)

)

detail in the attached Supporting Affidavit of Dismas Ong'ondi, which affidavit I fully rely

on in response to the petition herein, in addition to the averments hereunder.

9. In response to Paragraph 6 of the Petitioner' s affidavit, I wish to state that the Comm iss ion

did not "abandon" the process of electron ic voter identification at the poll ing stations, as

alleged by the Petitioner. The electronic voter identification system was the second step in

the identification of voters, after the voter had been identified using original National

Identity Card or Passport and was at all times followed by identification using the Printed

Biometric Register on which the voters name would be crossed out. Presiding officers

experienced challenges in the use of the Electronic Voter Identification Devises (EVID) in

some polling stations, and had to resort to using the Printed Biometric Register alone. The

Printed Biometric Register also contained biometric details of the voters, more specifically,

the passport-sized photographs of the voters.

10. In further response to paragraph 6 and 7, I wish to state that the design of the electoral

system, and the processes of voting, counting, transmission, tallying and announcement of

election results, as contemplated under the Constitution, the Elections Act, and attendant

regulations, is primarily a manual system of voting, which was configured with various

safeguards to preserve the integrity of the process. The use of various electronic devices and

IT was an additional instrument to make the electoral process more efficient, and enhance

transparency, but not a substitution of the legally stipulated manual electoral processes.

11. In response to paragraph 8, I wish to state that, since its establishment, the Commission has

exercised its mandate within the framework of the Constitution of Kenya, the electoral laws

and regulations, and also within the guiding framework of the recommendations of the

Independent Review Commission (fREC), as contained in its report (the "Kriegler Report").

12. In response to Paragraph 9 of the Petition, I wish to reiterate my averments above to the

extent that the Commission's adoption of varioLls technological systems such as the

Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) technology was NOT meant to replace the legally

provided manual system of voter registration, but was meant to provide an additional layer

of efficiency and integrity in the electoral processes.

3

)

13. In further response to Paragraph 9, I wish to state that, when the various technological

devices such as the EVID and Results Transmission System (RTS) experienced challenges

in some of the polling stations, the Commission communicated the said challenges to the

public by way of real-time/live television broadcasts, and also informed the public and

political parties of the steps it was taking to either resolve the challenges and ensure the

electoral process remained on course (annexed hereto and marked "AIH-4" are copies of

various media statements from the Chairperson and other members of the Commission).

14. In response to Paragraph 1 0, I reiterate my averments above and state that the manual

system for conducting the various electoral processes is the primary and legally recognized

mode of conducting the electoral process, and that the Constitution, electoral laws and

regulations have designed these manual processes with inherent safeguards that distinguish

them from previous electoral processes in Kenya, especially the 2007 general elections.

15. In response to Paragraph l1A, I reiterate my averments above, I further state that, with the

challenges faced in the deployment of the technologies on election day- the EVID and the

RTS, the Commission continued to use the primary manual electoral processes, which were

not in any way challenged, and constructively engaged political parties in the processes of

voting, counting, transmission, tallying and announcement of results.

16. In response to Paragraph lIB of the Petitioner's affidavit, I wish to state that the legitimate

expectation of the people of Kenya is anchored in the electoral framework, which

anticipated a manual electoral process, and which legitimate expectation the Commission

discharged as required by law. The use of technology was intended to act as a check and

control system and not a replacement of the legal system and as a check and control tool the

technology achieved its objectives as more particularly set out in the affidavit of Dismas

Ong'ondi, the Commission's Director Information and Communications Technology (lCT)

filed herewith.

17. In response to paragraphs 13 and 14, the Commission, to the best of its knowledge, has,

from its establishment to the end of the 2013 General Elections, prepared for and conducted

the electoral process within the constitutional, statutory and regulatory framework.

18. In response to paragraphs 15 and 16 of the Petitioner"s affidavit, I wish to state that the tally

of registered voters has remained the same - 14,352,545 voters (which is the number of

14,352,533 and an addition of 12 voters from Soy Constituency in Uasin Gishu, and a

further 31,318 voters whose biometric information was not captured during the voter

registration exercise) - as it was in the officially certified Principal Register of Voters dated

the 18th February 2013. In addition the Commission resolved to allow all persons who had

been properly registered and appeared in the green book but were missing from the printed

register to vote as more particularly explained in the affidavit of Immaculate Kassait filed

herein.

19. Further the Petitioner's averments are misconceived, since they are based on the use of the

provisional statistics given to all the political parties by the Registrar of Political Parties for

purposes of planning for their political party nominations and for deployment of their party

agents and other related purposes.

20. In response to paragraph 25 of the Petitioner's affidavit, I aver that the Commission indeed

discharged its mandate in establishing accurate, secure, verifiable, accountable and

transparent systems for conducting the elections, as exhibited by the elaborate systems and

safeguards contained in various election laws and regulations the Commission formulated,

and Parliament approved, under Section 109 of the Elections Act. These include:

(a) The Constitution;

(b) The Elections Act, 2011;

(c) The IEBC Act, 2011;

(d) the Elections (General) Regulations, 2012;

(e) the Elections (Registration of Voters) Regulations, 2012;

(f) Rules of Procedure and Settlement of Disputes;

5

Page 10: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

J

21. In response to Paragraph 29(b) of the Petitioner's affidavit, I aver that in the various areas

identified by the Petitioner, whereby the tally of cast votes in presidential elections allegedly

exceeded the cast votes in other elections, there was no ballot stuffmg.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS AND THE COMPILATION OF THE PRINCIPAL

REGISTER OF VOTERS

22. In response to Paragraphs 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36 of the Petitioner's affidavit, and the

Supporting affidavit of Janet Ongera C'RO 3""), I wish to state as follows regarding the

process of registration of voters and the compilation ofthe Principal Register of Voters.

23. The Commission gave notice that it was to commence the process of the compilation of a

Principal Register of Voters for all Counties, Constituencies and Wards and Kenyans

residing within the East African region, on the 16th of November 2012 vide gazette notice

number 16727 (annexed hereto and marked "AIH-5" is the said gazette notice).

24. In the conduct of the voter registration exercise, which was carried out by the Commission

throughout the country from the 17th of November 2012 to the 18th of December 2012, the

Commission used BVR Kits.

25. At the conclusion of the voter registration exercise on the 18th of December 2012, the

Commission sought and collated statistics on voter registration from its various registration

officers in the field, which resulted into a total of 14,337,339 registered voters.

26. However, this figure was provisional, pending verification of the data downloaded from the

registration devices from the registration officers. This meant that the figure of 14,337, 339

registered voters was likely to increase once all the registration data had been received from

the registration officers in the field.

27. In response to paragraph 11 in the affidavit of Janet Ongera I wish to reiterate the fact that

the figure of 14,337,399 registered voters referred to in the said affidavit was provisional

and not fmal and was subject to change.

6

)

28. In response to paragraph 17 of the said affidavit of Janet Ongera, I wish to state that there is

no basis in fact or law for her assertion that the final number of registered voters would not

exceed 14,337,399. The number 14,337, 399 being a provisional statistic arising from an

incomplete tally, was likely to change once all the information as to the number of persons

who had registered as voters was considered.

29. I wish to state that until the Commission certified the register as by law required, the

information it held regarding those people who had applied to register as voters, remained

statistics and were in no shape or form the Principal Register of Voters.

30. In order to prepare the Principal Register of Voters, the Commission de-duplicated the

provisional register. This process involved the removal of people who had registered more

than once. These people were moved to the duplicates section of the register. Persons who

had registered with documents other than those permitted by law, which were a national

identity card or a valid passport, and any other permitted exceptions were removed to the

exceptions section of the register. Persons in the duplicate and exceptions sections of the

register were not allowed to vote.

31. In compliance with the Elections (Registration of Voters) Regulations, 2012, the

Commission opened up the provisional register to the public for inspection and verification

between the 14th of January 2013 and the 2ih of January 2013.

32. After the inspection process, the Commission realized that there were 31,318 persons who

had been registered and whose biometric details had not been captured. This was due to the

fact that certain people, due to the nature of their work, age or disability did not have

biometric information or features and those whose data was irretrievable from the BVRkits.

This group was registered in a section ofthe principal register entitled the "Register Without

Biometrics" (commonly referred to as the Special Register), so as not to disenfranchise

them.

33. Political parties were duly informed by the Commission about the existence of this section

of the principal register of voters. They were also informed that persons in this section of the

principal register of voters would be allowed to vote in the general election which was to be

7

)

held on the 4th of March 2013 (annexed hereto and marked "AIH 6" are minutes of a

meeting between the Commission and the Political Parties Liaison Committee, and the

attendance register for the same).

34. After the Commission concluded all the adjustments to the provisional statistics arising from

the abovementioned inspection process, the Commission on the 18th of February 2013 met

and certified the register as provided by the Elections (Registration of Voters) Regulations,

2012. This is the Gazette notice referred to in the Affidavit of Janet Ongera in support of the

Petition, Marked "JO-4".

35. At the time it was certified the Principal Register of Voters had 14, 352, 545 duly registered

voters in the Biometrics Register and 31 ,318 voters in the Register Without Biometrics.

(Annexed hereto and marked as "AIH-7" is a true summary of the Principal Register of

Voters with Biometrics as certified by the Commission.)

36. The Principal Register of Voters sent to each of the electoral units contemplated under

section 4 of the Elections Act, 2011 therefore comprised of the following parts:

(a) The biometrics register;

(b) The exception register comprising of persons who had been double-registered;

( c) The Register Without Biometrics, comprising of persons with indistinguishable biometric

features, e.g. fmgers and facial features.

(d) Two lists - the "duplicates list", comprising of persons registered more than once and the

"exceptions I ist" comprising persons who registered with inadmissible documentation, or

any other exclusion.

37. The fact of certification of the Principal Register of Voters was published vide Gazette

Notice Number 2222 of 18th February 2013 . The Commission further advertised the said

fact in local daily newspapers with national circulation. (Annexed hereto and marked "AIH-

8" is a true copy of the said Gazette Notice) .

38. Whereas the said advertisements indicated that the Principal Register of Voters was

available on the Commission's website, the same was not uploaded on to the Commission's

website until the 24th of February 2013. This delay in uploading the Principal Register of 8

Page 13: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

r )

)

Voters onto the Commission's website was occasioned by the fact that the said register was

still being divided into administrative streams for ease of voting.

39. In response to paragraph 19 in the affidavit of Janet Ongera I wish to state that the

14,267,572 was number gleaned from a document that was work in progress. For reasons I

have deponed to hereinabove, the number of voters in the Principal Register of Voters was

14,352,545 and not as is alleged in paragraph 19 of the affidavit of Janet Ongera (annexed

hereto and marked "AIH- 9 is an external hard drive containing the Principle Register of

Voters as certified by the Commission on 18" February 2013.)

40. I wish to state further that the CD-ROM served on the 1 sl Respondent, as Annex- JO-5 to the

affidavit of Janet Ongera is blank, and I am unable to respond substantively thereto.

41. In response to paragraphs 20, 21 and 22 in the affidavit of Janet Ongera I wish to state that

the expectation of the deponent of the said affidavit has no foundation in law.

42. In response to Paragraph 37(c) of the Petitioner's affidavit, I reiterate my averments

hereinabove, and state that the petitioner' s averments are III iscollceived, since they are based

on the use of the provisional register given to them by the Registrar of Political Parties for

purposes of planning for their political party nominations.

PROCEDURE FOR VERIFICATION, TALLYING AND ANNOUNCEMENT OF PRESIDENTIAL RESULTS AT THE NATIONAL TALLING CENTRE AND THE PARTICIPATION OF POLITICAL PARTIES

43. In response to paragraph 40 and 42 of the Petitioner' s affidavit, I wish to state that the

Commission and its officers and agents complied with the provisions of Regulation 83 and

85 of the Elections (General) Regulations, 2012, and further state that no evidence to the

contrary has been tendered by the Petitioner. I wish to rely on the external evaluation reports

of various electoral observers and monitors, who have confirmed that the process of voting

and counting of ballots, and the transmission and tallying of results, was conducted as

required by law (annexed hereto as "AIH-IO A, B, and C are the election observer reports).

44. Tn response to Paragraph 43 of the petitioner ' s affidavit, and the affidavits of Janet Ongera

"RO 3", Prof. Larry Gumbe "RO 5", and Johnstone Nduya Muthama "RO 6", I wish to state

that, at the National Tallying Centre at Bomas of Kenya (hereinafter "Born as"), the chief

agents of Presidential Candidates were, from Wednesday 6th March, 2013, indeed allowed to

enter into the tallying room and observe the tallying of the Presidential election results.

45. Unfortunately, sometime in the evening, the political party agents inside the tallying room

became rowdy, precipitated altercations with the Commission staff undertaking the tallies,

and, in some instances, threatened to assault the Commission staff. This situation made it

impossible for the Commission to continue undertaking its tallying exercise, prompting

Commission to relocate the political party agents to a board room in the auditorium within

Bomas, and adjacent to the Tallying Centre. Each of the final tallies (Form 36) were

presented to the political party agents at the said board-room 20 minutes before the

announcement of the result to the public. The Political Parties would then undertake the

verification of the presidential election tallies before they were announced. The Presidential

agents assumed they had the power to verify and give approval before the announcement of

the results and introduced a new column in Form 36 to be signed by them and between 9am

and 5pm on 6th of March 2013 they had only approved five results and objected to 16 results

and in effect tried to usurp the function of the Commission and thus delay the declaration of

the results.

46. The Commission, so as to ensure that the results tallied were accurate, went over and above

the provisions of the Elections Act and Regulation 83 of the Elections (General)

Regulations, 2012 and established an elaborate audit process. As set out hereunder.

(a) The Commission constituted a 2-step audit process which comprised a regional

team to look at returns from specific regions as described below, and a

verification team to countercheck the regional teams' fmdings.

(b) The said teams at the national Tallying Centre at BOMAS of Kenya were given

specific duties towards checking and verification of the presidential election

results prior to and after announcement of the results by the Commission.

10

Page 15: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

oJ

(c) All the Returning officers at the constituency level were required to personally

and physically deliver the presidential election results at Bomas. For those

Returning officers in far-flung electoral areas, they would be airlifted to Nairobi.

(d) Once a Returning officer arrived at Bomas, he or she would be required to sign in

and indicate the time in which he or she arrived.

(e) The regional team at the national Tallying Centre was organized into ten (10)

teams (which had at least 4 people at any time) that handled electoral results from

various regions, as follows:

1. Team 1 - Western - Kakamega, Vihiga, Bungoma and Busia;

11. Team 2 - Eastern - Marsabit, Isiolo, Meru Tharaka-Nithi, Kitu, Machakos

and Makueni;

Team 3 - Central and South Rift -Trans -Nzoia, Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo

Marakwet, Nandi, Baringo, Laikipia, Nakuru,Narok, Bomet, and Kericho;

Team 4 - Garissa, Wajir and Mandera;

Team 5 - Central - Nyandarau, Nyeri and Kirinyaga;

Team 6 - Nyanza - Siaya, Kisumu, Homabay, Migori, Kisii and Nyamira;

Team 7 - Coast - Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi, Tana River, Lamu and

TaitaiTaveta;

Team 8 - Nairobi, Kajiado, Thika, Muranga and Kiambu;

Team 9 - North Rift- Turkana, West Pokot and Samburu;

Team 10 - Diaspora Stations-Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi.

(f) Once the Returning Officer signed in at BOMAS, he was shown the relevant work

station and the regional team that would receive and process the results.

(g) The regional team received from the Returning Officer the Form 34s for

presidential elections and Form 36, on both hard and soft copies. It then ran a

accuracy test of the results as tabulated in the Forms 36 received from the

Returning Officer, which tests entailed checking the forms for the following: 11

Page 16: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

\ .. J

)

1. That the number of valid votes cast plus rejected votes equals to the total

votes cast;

11. That the total number votes cast for all candidates equaled the total

number of valid votes cast;

(h) If the accuracy test revealed inaccuracies, such as transposition errors this was

rectified.

(i) After the initial review by the regional team, the Returning Officer was then

forwarded to the next team, the Verification Team, which checked the Form 34s

and Form 36.

U) After the Verification Team made changes, if any, it certified that the results were

proper, and printed the NEW Form 36 for signature by the Returning officer and

the Verification Team leader.

(k) The Form 36 was then referred to the Chief Presidential Agents, stationed at the

board room in the auditorium within Bomas. The agents were given about 20

minutes to countercheck the Form 36 with their tallies, and would raise any issue

they had with the Form 36.

(1) The document would then be forwarded by the Commission to the main audit

team, which would once again verify the Form 36, and provide a written summary

of the numbers therein, for announcement at plenary.

(m)The Summary and the Form 36 would then be forwarded to the Commissioners,

who would once again look through the document, before announcing the results

at plenary.

(n) After the announcement of the results by the Commissioners, the Form 36 would

once again be referred to a team of two electoral officials, who would once again 12

Page 17: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

)

verify and fonnally input the data from the Fonn 36 into a spreadsheet for the

fmal presidential election results.

(0) In total, there were the following levels of scrutiny of the Presidential election

results:

Counting and re-counting of votes at the Polling Centre;

Review by the Verification Team at the national Tallying Centre;

Scrutiny by Presidential Party Agents who were given the right to file any

written complaints against any of the results;

Verification by the Com 111 issiol1 ' S Commissioners;

Verification by the team of two (2) officials before the input of data into a

spreadsheet.

47. In response to paragraph 46 of the Petitioner' s affidavit, I aver that the Commission indeed

experienced various logistical and other challenges that delayed the commencement of

voting in certain areas around the country, and that these challenges were anticipated,

considering the complexity and grand scale of operations required to organize an election of

such scale. However, despite the delays in commencement of voting, the Commission and

its election officers and agents were guided by the provisions of Regulation 64(3) of the

Elections (General) Regulations, which required the Presiding officer to extend the voting

period by the period of lateness in commencing the exercise.

SECURITY LOGISTICS DURING THE VOTING EXERCISE

48. In response to paragraph 47 of the Petitioner' s affidavit, r wish to state that throughout the

electoral cycle and particularly during the campaigning period, voting day and counting and

tallying of results, the Commission recognized the key importance of security and the need

to consult and engage with the other Government departments so as to ensure that adequate

security arrangements were made. 13

Page 18: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

--\ '\ I I

)

)

49. Further, the Commission made elaborate security arrangements in all parts of the country.

Indeed, the electoral exercise was peaceful in most parts of the country, except for few

incidences of insecurity in some parts of Mombasa, Kilifi and Garissa County, which

incidents were dealt with by the Security apparatus, details whereof are contained in the

Affidavits in further reply to this Petition.

50. In response to Paragraph 48 and 49 of the Petitioner' s affidavit, I wish to reiterate my

averments on the RTS above, and on the Affidavit of Dismas Ong'olldi attached hereto.

51. In response to paragraph 50 of the Petitioner' s affidavit, r reiterate my averments

hereinabove regarding the provisional and certified Principal Register of Voters.

52. In response to Paragraph 52, I wish to state that the Commission indeed, received and acted

on the complaints and queries of the Petitioner and his agents as and when they arose:

53. In further response to Paragraph 72 and 74 of the Petitioner's affidavit, r wish to state that

the tallying of presidential votes at the constituency, county, and national level was done

with the participation of the agents of the candidates and political parties present, and that,

at the constituency and county level, the political party agents present signed onto the Form

34s and Form 36s containing the presidential election result tallies.

54. In response to Paragraphs 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, and 91 of the Petitioner's affidavit,

I rely on the further affidavits sworn in reply to the Petition and annexed hereto as "A/H-

11".

55. In response to paragraph 95 I reiterate my averments regarding the process of tallying and

verification at the national Tallying Centre above.

56. In response to Paragraph 97,98 and 99 of the Petitioner' s affidavit, I wish to state that the

Returning Officers, after tallying the results from polling stations, prepared, signed, dated

and gave copies to the candidates or agents present, the respective Form 34s, in accordance

with Regulation 83(1)(d)(i) of the Elections (General) Regulations, 2012. In addition, I wish

1/ /

to state that the constituency Returning Officers presented Form 34s together with Form 36s

at the National Tallying Centre.

57. In response to paragraph 101 of the Petitioner's affidavit, r rely on the further affidavits

sworn in reply to the Petition and annexed hereto as "A IH-I 1".

58. In response to paragraph 102 of the Petitioner' affidavit, I aver that the tallying process was

transparent as required by the Constitution, the Elections Act and the Elections (General)

Regulations, 2012, and no evidence to the contrary has been adduced by the Petitioner.

59. In response to paragraph 104 of the Petitioner' s atTidavit, r wish to state that, after the

Commission' s Information Communication and Technology (lCT) staff, together with the

IT specialists from political parties, had investigated and discovered the reasons for the

malfunction of the RTS, I issued a public statement explaining the causes of the RTS

malfunction, and the reasons for the anomalies in the number of rejected votes.

60. In response to paragraphs 105 and 106 of the Petitioner' s affidavit, I reiterate my averments

above, to the effect that political party agents were involved in the tallying of the

presidential votes at the polling centre, constituency, county and national tallying centres,

and that the allegation of cast ballots exceeding the number of registered voters is as a result

of the petitioner' s misconception between the provisional number of voters and the certified

Principal Register of Voters, and their misconception of the tallying process.

61. In response to paragraph 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117 and 118 of the Petitioner's affidavit, r reiterate my averments above, and that the Petitioner has not provided evidence of his

allegations.

62. In response to paragraphs 109, 110, 119, 120 and 121 of the Petitioner·s affidavit, I wish to

state that the Commission discharged its mandate in compliance with the constitutional,

statutory, and regulatory mandate, and that my declaration of the results of the presidential

election is indeed valid.

)

63. In further response to the allegations set out in the Petition and the affidavit in support

therefore, I wish to state that:

(a) the Commission compiled a Principal Register of Voters as envisaged by Section

4 of the Elections Act;

(b) the Petitioner has misrepresented the role and status of the various technologies

employed during the general elections held on the 4th march 2013;

(c) the challenges faced in the use of the technologies notwithstanding, the

Commission put in place adequate measures that ensured free, fair and transparent

elections, as envisioned under Articles 81 and 86 of the Constitution.

(d) The counting, tallying, transmission and declaration of election votes and results

were efficient, accurate, accountable, lawful and a true representation of the will

of the people of Kenya based on universal suffrage.

(e) The petition is premised on a misconception of the Principal Register of Voters,

the tallying process, and the legal framework, and would therefore not justify the

grant of the prayers sought in the petition.

64. What is stated herein is true to my knowledge. Where I have relied on information, I have

disclosed the source of such information and I verily believe the same to be true.

INDEPENDENT ELECTOH}\L AND BOUNDARIES COMMISSION

CHAIRMAN'S PRESS BRIEFING ON THE ELECTION DATE 4 thMARCH,

2013.

AT 10:00AM

Fellow Kenyans: the election process kicked off in most of the stations at 6am

in the morning as planned. We note that there are some polling stations that

opened late. The Commission would wish to assure the public that such time

lost will surely be compensated.

We are aware that some poll books have malfunctioned, due to a variety of

factors, including power problems. However in all such cases, the commission

has authorized the use of manual register. This device truly enhances the

integrity of the electoral process and is not in any case an inferior alternative to

the poll book. To fully ensure that the entire process is foolproof we encourage

the political party and candidate agents to be vigilant and observant at the

polling and vote counting stages.

) Requirement for voting

We wish to repeat that voters should present valid documents they used during

registration. Only original ID and valid passport will be allowed.

An initial Audit of the ballot papers has revealed a very tiny number, no more

than half dozen of positions with missing political party symbols, mix-up of

candidate pictures and one or two candidate's names entirely missing from the

register. All such cases concern only the County Assembly Wards. In the

interest of fairness and observant of its constitution mandate the Commission

has rescheduled elections in such county assembly wars to 11 th March 2013.

INDEPENDENT ELECTORAL AND BOUNDARIES CO ~MISSION

Our returning officers and presiding officers have been notified of this fact and

candidate agent in respective wards notified. This wards are:

1. Kuria East Constituency

• Nyabasi west ward

• Goke haraka ward.

2. Bunyala south county assembly ward

3. Gwasi North County Assembly Ward

4. Samburu North

However, elections for all the other positions, i.e. president, governor, senator,

national assembly and women representative are going on as scheduled. In this

regard, voters will be given five ballot papers instead of six. The Commission

will announce later when elections for the affected position will be held as soon

as we print new material.

There are areas where there will be no voting because the candidates of those

areas went unopposed.

) There are also cases of candidates whose candidature were unopposed. This

will be pronounced election unopposed and the names gazette in due course.

.. J

Security:

The Commission has unfortunately experienced insecurity in some regions of

the Country. The response of the security agencies has been commendable so

far. The Commission wishes to reiterate its appeal to the people of this Country

not to be cowed or intimidated by acts of lawlessness and way ward behaviors

intended to cause despondency and to disenfranchise the electorate.

INDEPENDENT EL CTORAL AND BOUNDARI!::S COMMISSION

This appeal is important and we urge you to take it seriously.

Logistics

The commission is happy to report that it surmounted all the logistical

challenges necessary to mount a successful election.

Conclusion

As of now the challenges posed by the poll book although predictable and

largely addressed remain a matter of concern to the commission and the

necessary remedial measures have been taken and the results so far indicate

marked improvement in the performance of the devices.

Unlike elections elsewhere in Mrica in recent memory failure of technology will

not hinder or inhibit the conduct of this election. We urge voters to maintain

calm at the polling stations as this matter is addressed.

We also thank Kenyans for so far turning out in large numbers.

IEBC Chairman's Update: 9.00 pm March 4, 2013

Welcome to our third media briefing today- but the first since polls officially closed at 5.00 pm.

We are happy to state once again that despite the hiccups reported earlier in the day, the voter turn-out has been very encouraging and by 5.00 pm this

~I evening, our statistics show that 60 percent of the 14.3 Million registered ! voters had cast their votes. Voters still queuing should not be turned away and

should ensure that they vote.

)

But we expect this percentage to increase significantly because polling was still going in arrears where we compensated for the time lost because of late opening polling stations. Besides, voting was also going in other areas where polling stations opened within the stipulated time but we had to extend the time to allow the huge number of voters who were already at the polling stations to cast their votes.

As you can see from our screens, results for the presidential election are already trickling in and are being relayed live electronically as and when they reach the National Tallying Centre. But we wish to inform Kenyans that these are provisional figures and they should wait for the Commission to announce the final and official results.

EVID update: In situations where the EVID failed, and we resorted to the poll book register, we are happy to report that it didn't in any way undermine the integrity of the elections. We wish to thank Kenyans for the patiience and partnership in this process.

Update on security: No further incidents of insecurity have been reported and we want to commend Kenyans for keeping the peace. We are encouraged by the fact that despite the unfortunate incident in Mombasa and Kilifi where police officers were killed, voters defied the security threat and still turned out in large numbers to vote.

The Chairman's Brief to the Media - March 5, 2013 at 10:30am

Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to this media briefing.

The results continue to trickle in. So far we have received PROVISIONAL RESULTS from 10,036 polling stations, spread across all the 290 constituencies and we are yet to receive from 23,000 polling stations across the country. We have had very robust field officers who have worked round the clock to ensure the results are here. With about 30 per cent of the polling stations, we want to emphasise the results so far are Partial and Provisional.

In some areas, the counting is almost over. We are expecting the Returning Officers to file their returns to the National Tallying Centre by this afternoon. We therefore continue to appeal for patience from the public, the political parties as well as the candidates.

We would like to share that at 9.30pm last night, we experienced network slowdown but that has been fixed and the IEBC is confident that there will be successful completion of the counting. As you know there were a number of polling stations where voting continued to accommodate voters who were on the queue at the official closing time. The IEBC wishes to assure the candidates, the parties and their supporters that each vote will be counted and appeals to stand with us.

Peace

The Commission continues to make a clarion call for peace to the public. Again, we wish to appeal to the public and in particular, the political parties, the media, and all IEBC stakeholders to understand that the results being relayed here are only provisional. As such, they should not hold premature conclusions.

The Commission has had, and continues to have a close collaboration with political parties, independent candidates and chief agents representing presidential candidates.

Acceptance of results

The IEBC continues to appeal to the parties, the candidates and their supporters to accept the authority of the Commission in conducting, facilitating and managing the elections. The Commission wishes to emphasize the integrity of the results and to accept the outcome. We must acknowledge that in every contest, there are winners and losers. Once again, the Commission wishes to assure the public and the candidates that the Commission, in undertaking its taking constitutional mandate will count and tally every single vote.

Page lof2

Page 56: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

Spoilt votes

Due to the complexity of this election, there is higher number of spoilt votes than we would have wished to see. The IEBC will have a clear count of the spoilt votes at the end of the exercise.

Condoling

The Commission condoles the family and colleagues of the IEBC Presiding Officer Waithanji Mwaniki, Ichichi Primary School stream in Two, Kanyenya- ini Ward in Kangema Constituency who passed away in the course of his official duties. The Presiding Officer was a very dedicated Officer and the Security Officers stayed behind to watch over the results. As such, the Commission however wishes to assure the candidates, the political parties and their supporters that the results from the area are intact with the Returning Officer.

INDEPENDENT ELECTORAL AND BOUNDARIES COM "'SSION

IEBC Chairman's Media Briefing: March 5, 2013, 8.00 pm

Ladies and Gentlemen of the media, my fellow Kenyans.

Welcome to yet another session in the series of media briefings that the Commission has lined up here at the National Elections Centre where we have a duty to keep you updated on events of the 2013 General Election.

At this time, the issue that all Kenyans are most interested in is the transmission and tallying of results with high expectations of knowing of who has won what position. As can be seen on the screens, the results are continuing to come in.

However, the Commission acknowledges that results for the presidential election are the most eagerly awaited. Although they are being transmitted live on our screens, there is growing concern over the slow pace at which they are being relayed. Indeed, the Commission is aware of this delay and that it is giving rise to different speculations.

Let me explain the measures we've taken to deal with this challenge.

1. The Commission has been in continuous consultation with the national presidential chief agents and ICT experts from both IEBC and the political parties to share the technical challenges of the transmission system. The Commission is , therefore, working to sort out the server issue.

2. We can confirm that our Returning Officers are expected to bring the physical results anytime now, which will lead to the final results. What matters here is the final result and they are coming in.

3. As per the Constitution and as explained this morning, the screens will be adjusted to reflect the percentage of votes for each candidate based on total votes cast.

I WEPENDENT ELECTORAL AND BOUNDARIES COMMISSIOtJ

STATEMENT BY IEBC CHAIRMAN AHMED ISSACK HASSAN ON MARCH 7,2013

Ladies and Gentlemen of the media, my fellow Kenyans

Welcome to yet another media briefing here at the National Elections Centre to update

you on the ongoing tallying of the presidential results .

As we have already acknowledged, the electronic vote system had challenges,

rendering some services on the main server non-functional. However, contrary to

current speculation and rumors, we do not believe the system was hacked into as the

installed multiple-layered security systems did not indicate that.

The Commission reverted to physical results, which are final and authenticated by the

documentation from the polling stations. These are the legally recognized results.

The Commission has a rigorous verification process. Once the votes have been

counted and tallied, they are signed off by all the agents present and a copy of the

same posted on the door of the polling station. The results are then forwarded to the

) constituency tallying center for tallying and official declaration by the Constituency

Returning Officer.

The Commission has designated eight verification and audit teams comprising top

IEBC management to receive, verifY and validate presidential results as declared at the

polling stations, constituencies and counties. The teams continue to verify and tally

these data.

The Commission would further like to clarify that the Chairman is the returning officer

for the presidential elections. This means that any dispute relating to the presidential

Page 59: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

I \ ,)

results should be addressed directly to him in writing before the final declaration of

results for presidential elections is done.

In an effort to allow the election officials to expedite the tallying process, presidential

party agents were relocated to another office to avoid overcrowding the National

Tallying Centre. However, the preidential agents are still being furnished with the

declaration forms for purposes of enhancing transparency. If they find have objections

or they fmd discripancies, or if the number of votes cast is more than the number of

registered voters, refer to the IEBC Chairman.

Weare also furnishing the media with both hard and soft copies of the confirmed

results, in addition to projecting them on the screens in the Barnas of Kenya

auditorium.

The Commission wishes to assure Kenyans that with the rigorous verification process

in place, there is no room to doctor the results whatsoever by any election official. We

thank Kenyans for their patience and assure them that the results of the presidential

elections will reflect their will.

Introduction

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) together with the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) held a consultative meeting with technical teams of political parties to discuss the Information Communication Technology (ICT) strategies put in place in preparation for the 4th March 2013 general elections.

The core purpose of the meeting was to familiarize political parties with the ICT systems to ensure there is integrity in the electoral process and efficiency and credibility in the delivery of election results.

Participants

Political Parties present (List of participants attached)

Opening Remarks

Commissioner Wangai affirmed that the commission would use the Electronic Voter Identification Device (EVID) in the elections. She called on political parties to work closely with IEBC to enhance public trust in the system and further asserted that the commission has put in place measures to enhance confidence in the process and ensure no violence is experienced in the elections. She then invited the Registrar of Political Parties who called out political parties present to confmn that all presidential candidates were represented.

Page 69: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

-') Presentations

The Director ICT stated that IEBC would have Constituency, County and National tallying centers for purposes of the elections. Consequently, the Commission had deployed ICT officers and regional ICT administrators as support teams in the regions to facilitate the process.

He further affirmed that call centers had been set up for communication purposes . . IEBC is committed to full disclosure to ensure the process is transparent, credible and acceptable. He highlighted that the commission had distributed the list of registered voters to political parties and further explained the process of registration of voters. Participants were also taken through a simulation of how the poll book would be used for identification of voters and the procedure of electronic transmission of results.

ISSUES RAISED

Will the Commission distribute the voters register to political parties sorted according to demographics indicating the number of women, youth, minorities and persons with disabilities?

Would the electorate verify if their details have been corrected in the voters register after the inspection process?

How was streaming of polling centers carried out?

Would the manual register be available at the polling station?

_) How would IEBC ensure that there is less queuing at the polling station and voting takes less time?

What would happen in instances where names were missing from the voters register?

What would happen in cases where Electronic Voter Identification (EVID) technology fails?

What circumstances would warrant a presiding officer to switch from electronic to manual register? Is the procedure documented?

Who has the authority to make changes to the register?

21 Page

Page 70: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

)

What action would IEEC take in cases where during tallying, votes cast exceed no of registered voters in a polling station?

During registration some polling stations were sharing kits. How will voters ensure that they have not been moved to stations other that where they registered?

Would the green book be available for inspection vis a vis the electronic register?

Recommendation

IEEC to communicate to political parties on the administrative procedure of shifting from electronic to manual register in cases where the Electronic Voter Identification system fails.

(Group CREDIBLE. PEACEFUL. FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS

The Official Results are Consistent with Elections Observation Group's Parallel Vote Tabulation (PVT)

9th March 2013

Background

The Elections Observation Group (ELOG) is a permanent national platform composed of civil society and faith-based organizations committed to promote citizen participation in the electoral processes, through non-partisan, impartial domestic observation and objective reporting of elections.

BLOG has been closely monitoring the pre election environment processes since June 2012 during which 542 long term observers were deployed to observe and repOli on the pre-election environment. Our primary goal in collecting this valuable information is to contribute to a peaceful election and to enhance the integrity of the election process.

We deployed 580 constituency supervisors and over 7000 observers in all the 290 constituencies. Out of these, approximately 1000 were deployed as Parallel Vote Tabulation (PVT) observers in sampled polling stations to enable ELOG to confidently comment on electoral processes and also provide an independent verification of the results announced by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). The PVT observers were deployed to a nationally representative sample of polling streams in all of the 290 constituencies.

PVT involves deploying highly trained, accredited observers to a representative random sample of polling streams to assess the conduct of the voting and counting process as well as to verify the official vote count. Unlike exit polls, PVT does not involve observers asking voters for whom they voted. PVT observers record the official figures as announced by the presiding officers at the sampled polling streams. The official vote counts from the representative random sample of polling streams are subjected to rigorous integrity checks and then analyzed to draw projections.

ELOG successfully conducted a PVT for the 2010 referendum on the Constitution. In the African elections, PVT has been applied successfully in countries such as Nigeria (2011& 2012), Ghana (2008& 2012), Uganda (2011) and Zambia (2008& 2012). In most of these exercises, the PVT helped to reduce mistrust in the tallying process by providing rapid independent verification of the voting process.

ELOG's 2013 PVT employed a nationally representative, random sample of 1000 polling streams drawn by experienced statisticians from the official list of polling streams provided by the IEBe. The sample contains polling streams in all 290 constituencies.

Election Day Process

Opening and Setup With a few cases of late opening of polling streams, ELOG was generally satisfied with opening and setup process. We were equally satisfied with the security measures in place and the availability of strategic materials.

Voting Our findings noted that the voting process generally went well albeit with some challenges, namely; malfi.mctioning of the electronic poll books and a high number of assisted voters.

Closing and Counting On the closing and counting process, our findings indicated as follows:

• An ODMfWTPER party agent (representing the CORD coalition) was present in 87.9% of all the polling streams. Where they were present, the ODM/WIPER agent signed the declaration of results for the presidential elections in 94.9% of these polling streams.

• A TNAIURP party agent (Representing the Jubilee Coalition) was present in 90.0% of all the polling streams. Where they were present, the TNAIURP agent signed the declaration of results for the presidential elections in 95.6% of these polling streams.

• A UDF party agent was present in 60.8% of all the polling streams. Where they were present, the UDF agent signed the declaration of results for the presidential elections in 87.6% of these polling streams.

• Agents from other parties were present in 88.5% of all the polling streams. Where they were present, they signed the declaration of results for the presidential elections in 88.3% of these polling streams.

• A copy of the presidential results form (Fonn 34) was affixed publicly outside of many polling streams (89.1%).

ELOG 2013 PVT Results and Final Turnout

IEBC's official results are consistent with ELOG's PVT projections. ELOG wishes to note and to remind all Kenyans that it is the IEBC which is constitutionally mandated to declare and announce the final, official results of the elections. Based on the PVT, ELOG has verified that the IEBC results fall within our projected range for all the eight presidential candidates.

Below are the ranges projected by the ELOG PVT for each of the candidates. These ranges are determined by the PVT estimates and the margins of elTor. Please note that the official result announced by the IEBC for each candidate falls within the range projected by the PVT. Thus, the PVT can confidently verify that the official result for each candidate is accurate.

More specifically, we call on the IEBC to make public the individual results (Form 34) from all polling streams.

We urge any party or person who may feel aggrieved by the outcome of the elections to seek redress through the courts of law. We call upon the courts to act expeditiously on any complaints that may be filed, and apply fairness which is essential to ensure equal protection of the law and the guarantee of effective peaceful redress. ELOG will continue to observe the process as it unfolds.

We congratulate Kenyans for making history by turning out in large numbers to exercise their right to vote. We want to acknowledge the peaceful manner with which Kenyans have conducted themselves and urge that peace continues to prevail.

May we dwell in unity, peace and liberty.

God Bless Kenya

CREDIBLE, PEACEFUL, FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS

4th MARCH 2013

OPENING OF POLLS STATEMENT

Today's General Elections are the first to be conducted within the framework of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. As such they are critical to the country's journey towards truly representative and democratic governance systems.

In our bid to contribute to a credible, peaceful, free and fair election, we have deployed 580 Constituency Supervisors and over 7000 observers in all the 290 constituencies. Out of these approximately 1000 are deployed as Parallel Vote Tabulation (PVT) observers in sampled polling stations. PVT is an advanced election-day observation methodology. It will allow the Elections Observation Group ELOG to confidently comment on both the process of the elections countrywide and also provide an independent verification of the results announced by the IEBe. The PVT observers were deployed to a nationally representative sample of polling stations in all of the 290 constituencies.

This statement is based on Observation and Incident Reports filed as of 11 :30am by ELOG observers .

jl ELOG has so far observed the following:

Opening and Set-up

• 59.7% of the polling stations opened on time. The remaining stations opened between 7:00am with some opening after 8:00am.

• In 95.6% of polling stations observed, the ballot boxes were shown to be empty before being sealed.

• ELOG observers reported that majority of the polling stations 99.6% had security officers present.

ll P age

www.elog.ke.or

Page 88: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

• In 8.0% of polling stations observed either Electronic Poll book was missing or they malfunctioned.

• A vast majority of polling stations (99.4%), had the requisite strategic materials (ballot boxes, ballot papers, lEBC stamp, indelible ink, and the Results Form 34)

Critical Incidents

@j 99.4% of polling streams were not missing 8flY strclegic Items tor voting.

www.elog.ke.or

So far ELOG has observed critical incidents during the opening and setup of polling stations process:

Tension and insecurity in Mombasa ELOG strongly condemns the attack and senseless killings of senior poLice officers in Mombasa County. The incident, which took place on the eve of the election, affected the opening of polling stations in the Jomvu and Changamwe Constituencies in the early hours of the morning. However, our observer reports indicate that polling stations subsequently were opened and voting commenced later in the morning.

ELOG commends the effOlts so far by the security agencies in restoring calm tbus enabling the lEBC to commence polling. We urge the Minister for Internal Security to deploy additional security to restore and maintain peace and calm in the affected areas and potential hotspots.

Poll Books Malfunction ELOG has also received reports of malfunctioning andlor absence of the electronic poll books in 8.0% of the stations observed. Weare happy that the lEBC, as a backup, made provision for the use of hard copy registers to enable manual identification of voters thereby ensuring that the voting process did not stall. Both registers are official and either may be used to

identify a voter. However, ELOG is concerned that this

could potentially slow down voter identification and by ,~~~ effect, increase the time a voter takes in order to cast their ballot.

Observer access inside polling stations

www.elog.ke.or

In the early hours of the morning some ELOG observers were denied access into polling stations by Presiding Officers for reasons that they lacked stamped lEBC letters and in some

~ . I

stations presiding officer asked for oaths of secrecy. We note that the requirements for observers in this election are an accreditation badge and a letter of appointment by an accredited organization in our case the Election Observation Group. This confusion therefore is largely attributable to inconsistent communication to the presiding officers.

ELOG would like to call for a speedy resolution of any pending issues which may bar observers from accessing the polling stations. We would especially call on the IEBC to expedite its communications between the headquarters and its officers on the ground. It is our hope that observers will be allowed free access to observe the entire voting process and more partiCUlarly the counting process, which is sacrosanct to the integrity of the process and validity of the results.

www.elog.ke.or

We, however, commend the IEBC for their efforts in resolving this situation and thus allowing observers to access the polling station.

In Conclusion:

ELOG is committed to its mandate and will remain vigilant and diligent in serving Kenyans to comprehensively monitor and observe the electoral processes and provide impartial and objective reports and recommendations.

We take this opportunity to congratulate Kenyans for turning out early and in large numbers. We appeal to them to exercise patience and tolerance in spite of the challenges experienced with the process.

May God Bless You and God Bless Kenya

CREDIBLE. PEACEFUL, FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS

4TH MARCH 2013

PRESS STATEMENT ON THE VOTING PROCESS

Over the last 12 hours, Kenyans across the country have had the opportunity to cast their votes. ELOG through its elaborate network of over 7000 observers has kept close vigil over the entire voting process in all the 290 constituencies.

This statement is based on Observation and Incident Reports fIled as of 8.30pm by ELOG observers.

The following are ELOG's findings on the voting process:

• As at 4.00pm, 68.5% of all registered voters had voted for the presidential election. • Although we noted in our earlier statement that in about 8.0% of the streams

observed electronic poll books were either missing or malfunctioning as at 11.30 am, by 8.30pm 55.1 % of the polling streams observed that electronic poll books failed to function properly.

• In 84.8% of polling streams nationwide, people whose details were not on the voters register were not permitted to vote as prescribed in law. However, in 15.2% of polling streams some people were permitted to vote even though their details did not match the register.

• Voters' fmgers were marked with ink in almost all of the polling streams (99.9%). • In 54% of polling streams many (i.e. 25+) people were assisted to vote. Out of these,

in 9.3% of the polling streams, assisted voters were not allowed to have a person of their choice assisting them.

• In 99.4% of polling streams throughout the country, voters names were marked or crossed out once their details were confirmed in the voters register.

• In 99.5% polling streams ballot papers were stamped with the IEBC official stamp before being issued.

• In 46.4% of polling streams, we noted some people were not permitted to vote. However, in 50.8% of polling streams, people were permitted to vote.

• 93.1 % of polling streams finished with voting by 7. 30pm.

We take this opportunity to commend IEBC's timely responses to some of the emerging challenges.

We note that the counting process has commenced and results have begun streaming in. We call upon Kenyans not to draw quick conclusions based on these, but rather wait for all the

In conclusion ELOG continues to thank Kenyans for conducting themselves peacefully and appeals to them to maintain the same spirit in the remaining part of the process.

We remain committed to our mandate and will continue being vigilant in accurately recording and reporting on the closing, counting and tabulation processes.

CREDIBLE. PEACEFUL, FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS

7TH MARCH 2013

PRESS STATEMENT ON THE ONGOING TALLYING OF PRESIDENTIAL RESULTS

The Elections Observation Group (BLOG) has so far issued two statements on the Election Day processes highlighting on the setup and opening of polls and the voting process. On these, our findings generally noted that the opening and closing processes went well albeit with some challenges; namely, late opening of polling streams and malfunctioning of the electronic poll books, amongst others.

We have also concluded our analysis on the counting process of which our fIndings indicate that the process was up to the set standards. Particularly, on the counting process, we noted that political party agents requested a recount in the presidential election in only 2.8% of the polling streams. Additionally, an ODM/WIPER party agent (representing the CORD Coalition) was present in 87.9% of all the polling streams. Where they were present, the aDM/WIPER agent signed the declaration of results for the presidential elections in 94.9% of these polling streams.

Similarly, A TNA/URP party agent (representing the Jubilee Coalition) was present in 90.0% of all the polling streams. Where they were present, the TNA/URP agent signed the declaration of results for the presidential elections in 95.6% of these polling streams.

We are aware of the challenges that have arisen with regard to the electronic transmission of results and the consequent decision and action by the IEBC to manually tally the presidential results. We wish to note that the manual tallying process is recognised in the law and, consequently, IEBC's abandoning of the electronic tallying process and resorting to manual tallying does not invalidate the credibility of the process. What clearly is lost is efficiency and transparency, hence the delay and anxiety. While not much can be done to make the process much more efficient, we take this opportunity to urge the IEBC to open

the manual tallying process to thorough scrutiny in order to retain the transparency which ought to have been enhanced by the electronic tallying system.

We, therefore, urge politicians and the general public to remain calm and allow the IEBC to finish its work. We would like to reassure Kenyans that through our work on the Parallel Vote Tabulation, we shall be in a position to verify and safeguard the integrity of the final presidential election results as announced by the IEBC.

We remain committed to our mandate and will continue being vigilant in accurately recording and reporting the tabulation process.

Thank You and May God Bless Kenya

Carter Center Congratulates Kenyan Voters on Peaceful Election, Urges Patience While Results Processed

The Carter Center finds that Kenya's polls were well-conducted in a peaceful environment. Voter turnout appears to have been high. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has made important commitments to improve the transparency of the counting and tabulation of votes. Although partial provisional results are available, the full tabulation of results is ongoing.

The Center regrets the security incident at the coast that happened on the eve of the election day that led to the unfortunate loss of lives and the death of an IEBC agent during the course of his duties. Their extreme sacrifice is a constant reminder of the importance of peace and security in the conduct of democratic elections.

The Center has observed a high number of rejected votes and appeal to the IEBC and other stakeholders to make address this in the shod telm.

At this stage, with the tabulation of final results still underway, it is too early to provide an overall assessment of the electoral process. Carter Center observers will continue to observe the tabulation process, dispute resolution, and the post-election environment.

In the meantime, political parties and their leaders should refrain from releasing one sided figures or making inflammatory statements. Instead we advise them to cooperate with the lEBC and appeal to their supporters to remain calm, refraining from any action that may lead to compromising security the elections in general and the Kenyan people in pruticular.

The Center encourages political parties and candidates to continue to exercise patience as the results process continues and to bring any complaints they may have to the appropriate legal channels.

The Center launched its election observation mission in Kenya in January 2013 with the deployment of 14 long-term observers from 11 countries. They were joined by an additional 38 short-tenn observers from 19 countries to observe voting and counting. The mission was led by

The Carter Center is in Kenya at the invitation of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and will provide an impartial and independent assessment of the electoral process to be made available to Kenyan citizens and the international community through periodic public statements. The Center makes its assessment based on Kenya's legal framework and its obligations for democratic elections contained in regional and international treaties. The Center's observation mission is conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Principles for International Election Observation and all its observers have signed the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Code of Conduct for Election Observers.l The Carter Center has observed 94 elections in 37 countries, including the 2002 elections in Kenya.

This statement is preliminary; a final report will be published in the coming months following the conclusion of the electoral process. The full preliminary statement is attached.

The Carter Center International Election Observation Mission to Kenya's March 4, 2013, Elections

Statement of Preliminary Findings and Conclusions

On March 4, 20 I 3, Kenya held its fifth elections since the re-establishment of mUlti-party politics in 199 I . The country has a longstanding history of ethnic fuelled electoral violence, which culminated in post-election violence in 2007 and 2008, leaving more than 1,000 dead and over 600,000 internally displaced people. The March 4 elections were the first conducted under the terms of the new constitution adopted by referendum in 2010, with a new electoral management body, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

The Cat1er Center launched its election observation mission in Kenya in January 2013 with the deployment of 14 long-term observers from 11 cOlmtries. They were joined by 38 short-term observers from 19 countries to observe voting and counting. The mission was led by fonner Zambia President Rupiah Banda and Carter Center Vice President for Peace Programs Dr. John Stremlau. On election day, the Center's observers visited 265 polling stations in 34 counties. Carter Center observers will continue to observe the tabulation process, dispute resolution, and the post-election environment.

The following observations are preliminary and may be amended as The Carter Center continues its assessment. Any commentary or recommendations offered in the spirit of support for genuine democratic elections in Kenya.

Legal and Electoral Framework

A sound legal electoral framework is essential for the effective administration of democratic elections that adhere to national and international rights. The legal framework includes the rules found in the national laws of the country that regulate how all aspects of the electoral process will unfold, including electoral management, boundary delimitation, campaigning, voter education and registration, voting operations, and counting and dispute resolution.

The Republic of Kenya has committed itself to a number of regional and international treaties through which it has obliged itself to follow key human rights standards. I Kenya has ratified a series of intemational and regional human and political rights instruments that are relevant to the electoral process. These treaties include the Convention of the Political Right of Women, (CPRW), the International Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), the Intemational Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, (ICCPR), the Convention of the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDA W), the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR), the African Union Charter on the Principles Governing Democratic Elections in Africa (AU CPGDEA), the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Afiica (ACHPR-PW), and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

I Art. 2 (6) of the Constitution of Kenya states that: "Any treaty or convention ratitied by Kenya shall tc)]m part of the law of Kenya under this Constitution."

Page 98: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

. ~J

The Elections Act, the Independent Electoral and Botmdaries Commission Act, and the Political Parties Act provide solid grounds for genuine elections. In addition, with two codes of conduct, the legal framework provides for a solid framework for a peaceful campaign. Effective access to the legal framework is made difficult by the variety of acts and the pr01hsion of subsidiary legislation, published in the Kenya gazette without further dissemination. The legal framework could be made more accessible to stakeholders and especially voters by a compilation of its regulations.

In contrast with 2007 elections, the CUtTent legal framework provides for a credible dispute resolution mechanism thanks to the reform of the judicialY, described in more detail below.

The Carter Center regrets the decision not to apply the two-thirds gender quota, which represent a step back from the constitutional commitment of Kenya to ensure equal eligibility and participate in fOlmulation of government policy as stated in the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women.:!

The Center also notes that the absence of campaign finance regulations reduces transparency in campaign spending and gives an unfair advantage to the wealthiest candidates.

Good practices in achieving elections that meet international standards advise that no substantial change to the electoral law should be made within six months prior to elections. Unfortunately, several amendments were made in this period, one of them withdrawing the obligation of party membership three months prior to party nomination. This allowed candidates to switch parties at the last minute, opening the possibility of "party hopping" for losing aspirants and thus withdrawing an essential safeguard against fraud, manipulation, and antedating of nomination documents.

The Center regrets the disenfranchisement of prisoners, whom in spite of a court recommendation to include them in the voter register, were not permitted to palticipate in the process.

Election Administration

An independent and impartial electoral authority that functions transparently and professionally is internationally recognized as an effective means of ensuring that citizens are able to participate in a genuine democratic election and that other international obligations related to the electoral process can be met. 3

The constitution provides for the establishment of the IEBC under Article 88. After the enactment of the new constitution in 2010, one of the critical pieces of legislation enacted by the parliament was the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Act, which provided the process for the recruitment and selection of the commissioners to the IEBC.4

2 Ratitied by the Republic of Kenya on March 9, 1984. 3 UNHRC General Comment No.25, para. 20 4 Internal Electoral and Boundaries Commission Act, art. 5

Page 99: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

The Carter Center welcomes the introduction of new selection criteria for the recruitment of the IEBe. The recruitment of lEBC commissioners was handled through multiple independent institutions, which was a departme from the selection of commissioners in the previous general elections. The process was spearheaded by the IEBC selection panel, which received all applications for the positions of IEBC commissioner. The president and prime minister then forwarded names to parliament for approval. In spite of attempts at political interference at various points in the process, the process enjoyed a high degree of impartiality, which has enhanced the credibility of the IEBC with both political parties and the general public.

The constitutional responsibilities of the IEBC include the continuous registration of voters and revision of the voter's roll, the delimitation of constituencies and wards, the regulation of political pa11ies process, the settlement of electoral disputes, the registration of candidates for elections, voter education, the facilitation of the observation, monitoring and evaluation of elections, the regulation of money spent by a candidate or party in respect of any election, the development of a code of conduct for candidates and pa11ies, and the monitoring of compliance with legislation on nomination of candidates by parties.

The Center is concerned about the low voter registration in pastoralist areas of Kenya and appeals to the IEBC to devise better methodology of reaching nomadic communities in future.

Candidates, Parties, and the Campaign Environment

The light of individuals to participate in public affairs, including through the establishment of and free association with political parties and participation in campaign activities, is protected by intemational principles and fundamental electoral rights.5 Equal treatment of candidates and parties during an election, as well as the maintenance of an open and transparent campaign environment, are important to protecting the integrity of the democratic election process.6

The Constitution of Kenya also guarantees freedom of citizens to exercise their political rights under Article 38 and guarantees free and fair elections tree from violence, intimidation, improper influence or corruption, and conducted by an independent body. Chapter VII of the Constitution of Kenya guarantees the representation of the people and covers critical areas of general principles for the electoral system, legislation on elections, registration as a voter, candidates for election and political parties to comply with code of conduct, and electoral disputes, amongst other issues.

The campaign ended on March 2 at midnight on a peaceful note. The last campaign rallies gathered numerous supporters and no clashes were observed. Kenyans were able to assemble freely while parties and candidates conveyed their message to potential voters. The Center's observers reported isolated cases of vandalism such as destruction of campaign posters. The Carter Center welcomed the organization of a public rally at Uhuru Park on Feb. 25 where all presidential candidates pledged to peaceful elections. The event gathered a big crowd of supporters and showed a strong moral commitment to a peaceful electoral process.

Campaign fmance is provided to national political parties by public funding in proportion to the strength of their representation in parliament or votes garnered in previous elections. Unforttmately, the absence of a fully defined official campaign period tends to penalize candidates and parties who lack the resources to run a long and expensive campaign. Financial resources continued to prevent a level playing field through the end of the campaign. While the wealthiest candidates were campaigning using helicopters, others struggled to afford billboards, media space, and televised advertising.

Several Kenyan organizations have reported on the particular disadvantages facing women candidates, who frequently lack the resources of male contenders and who often do not receive help fl:om their parties.

Occurrences of hate speech were reported on vernacular radio; however, the Center commends the majOlity of Kenyan citizens for their commitment to a peaceful electoral process reaffirmed on numerous occasions during the campaign. The Carter Center welcomed the organization of two presidential and vice presidential debates where all eight candidates exchanged their views on live television and 33 radio stations across the country.

Participation of Women

State obligations to promote de facto equality for women derive, in part, ii-om broader political obligations regarding absence of discrimination and the right of all citizens to participate in the public affairs of their country regardless of gender. 7 Through ratification of international and regional treaties, Kenya has pledged to promote the political participation of women on an equal basis with men. It has also made specific provision for the rights of women in the 2010 constitution.8

In spite of a legal framework providing for a solid set of mles to enhance women participation in politics, The Carter Center observed a very low number of women competing for elective positions. While the Center welcomes the adoption of a quota system that ensures an immediate representation of women in parliament, rather than empowering women to fully engage in the political process as candidates and elected representatives, the reserved seats for women have served to segregate female candidates and to bar them from standing as candidates for any other seat in parliament.

Just one of the eight aspirants for the presidency is a woman. Only 167 women ran among several thousand candidates for the 290 elected seats in parliament. Seven women are in the race for the 47 governor seats and 17 are mnning for the one of the 47 senate seats. The majority of women candidates competed for the reserved seats in the National Assembly with 403 candidates vying for the 47 seats.

In spite of numerous dispositions aimed at ensuring a better representation of women in public office, The Ouier Center regrets the undermining of the essential component of a modem society that is the promotion of women's representation in elective positions. The Political Patiies Act

. ~)

alone contains three significant aliicies focusing on gender equality in both party and government composition, however, their existence has failed to translate to higher political representation or participation by female candidates.9

Media

fntemational obligations related to the media and elections include freedom of expression; opinion; and the right to seek, receive, and impart information through a range of media. 10 While The CaIter Center did not conduct comprehensive media monitoring, it offers the following observations on the overall media fi·amework.

The Carter Center observed very intense media coverage of the electoral campaign, mainly concentrated around the two parties that were considered frontrunners by pollsters. The attention given to the two main presidential contenders, CORD and Jubilee, and their financial capacity to occupy the media did not create a level playing field for the other candidates.

The numerous public opinion polls reported during the campaign prepared the Kenyan people for a potentialmnoff and a very close race, inciting the media to focus even more on the two main presidential candidates. Throughout the campaign, the national media focused on the presidential elections, leaving aside the crucial competition for national and local assemblies, which will play a major role in the country's futme with the implementation of the new devolution system. The Center finds that more attention should have been given to the five other elections that took place on March 4.

The Carter Center regrets the focus given by international media on the risks of viole nee that did not reflect the peace oriented messages sent by candidates, political patties, and all stakeholders.

Voting Procedures

The quality of voting operations on election day is crucial to determining how closely an election falls in line with a country's democratic obligations. I I A core obligation under international law is that elections shall be held by secret ballot, which is recognized as a means of ensuring that the will of the people is expressed fi'eely, and that a cast ballot cannot be connected with a voter to avoid intimidation and political retribution. Kenya appears to have largely met this important obligation in the March 4 elections.

Carter Center observers visited a total of 265polling stations on election day, where they observed the opening of the polls and the polling, closing, and counting procedures. Overall, Carter Center observers reported strong voter turnout and that the process was well conducted by fEBC officials. Polling station staff generally performed according to procedures with a rating of good or very good in more than 90 percent of stations visited.

Page 102: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

Polling operations throughout the day, including counting, were perfOlmed in a largely peaceful atmosphere. Two serious incidents of violence with multiple deaths seriously marred election day in the coast region and forced the relocation of a constituency tally center.

For the 2013 elections, there were approximately 32,400 polling stations with a significant variance in the number of voters per polling station. Some 50 percent of polling stations had more than 400 voters and many large polling centers were established, often as a single polling station with many "streams." It appears that the high number of voters at some polling locations is attributable to the delayed voter registration period while the electoral law also required the IEBC to gazette the number of polling stations 90 days before the elections (and before the voter register was finalized). One consequence was that while the IEBC sought to limit most polling stations to fewer than 1,000 voters, many locations felt the pressure of several thousand people trying to enter through a single gate or other control. The result was incredibly long queues. Kenyans withstood these long lines from early morning through the heat of the day and many voters waited six or more hours to vote. While Kenyans did so with great patience, the imposition of this waiting time is unreasonable and the IEBC should take steps to reduce this and establish more voting locations, improved queue management with more polling staff, or other measures. In future elections, the IEBC should consider reducing the number of registered voters per polling station to facilitate polling operations and counting.

The official hours of voting were 6a.m. -5p.m. Polls that opened late were to remain open for 11 hours, and all polling stations were to allow the last voter in line at the time of closing to cast their ballot. Calier Center observers reported that 75 percent of polling station openings occurred by 6:30 a.m. Nearly all polling station areas were free from campaign materials and the appropriate number of security personnel was on hand and behaved accordingly.

The March 4 elections were the first to use the electronic voter register, requiring each polling station to have a functioning electronic voter identification (EVID) machine to conduct biometric voter identification. However, Carter Center observers found that while polling workers were adequately trained on how to use the machines, many EVIDs malfunctioned or were not provided with an adequate power supply to maintain function for all 11 hours of voting. In 41 percent of polling stations visited by Center observers these electronic devices were not operating. This failure resulted in some confusion regarding the voters list which was further compounded by some 35,000 voters being included in the paper registry but not in the biometric system.

Polling stations also were issued with printed voter lists including photographs. FOltunately, polling station staff quickly reverted to the paper register to keep the voting process moving. While the technical difficulties and voters list confusion significantly slowed the voting process in certain areas, voting was able to continue and voters were not reported to be disenfranchised.

The IEBC is commended for its efforts to acquire, produce, and distribute both sensitive and nonsensitive election materials. Carter Center observers found that 95 percent of polling stations visited had all necessary materials by the time polling stations were to open at 6 a.m.

Carter Center observers noted that in some 20 percent of locations visited, the layout of the polling station and placement of the voting booth, particularly those in stations with limited

Page 103: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

')

( .~J

space, could have compromised the secrecy of the vote. However, in these cases Carter Center observers did not report serious concerns about violations of ballot secrecy or incidents of intimidation or concem among voters.

According to public international law, al1 persons have the right to participate in the public affairs of their country. 12 This includes the right of citizens to participate in non-governmental organizations as well as the right of citizens to participate in citizen observer organizations and contribute to voter education effOlis. Through these means, civil society can actively play an essential role in upholding an electoral process that is accountable and in which all participants can have confidence.

Political patiies and independent candidates' agents from more than one party were present at almost all of the polling stations observed. Very few polling station complaints were recorded officially. Domestic observers were also prevalent at 60 percent of polling stations. The Center also notes the impressive work of the Elections Observation Group, which released two rolling assessments on election day and implemented a parallel voting tabulation as an independent check on the cOlmting process.

Counting

The accurate and fair counting of votes plays an indispensable role in ensuring the electoral process is democratic and reflects the will of the voters. International and regi~nal commitments indicate that votes be counted by an independent and impattial electoral management body whose cowlting process is public, transparent, and free of corruption. 13

In the polling stations visited by Carter Center observers, closing and counting took place in a peaceful atmosphere and largely according to procedure. A significant number of counting operations did not reconcile the number of ballot papers properly, but otherwise most stations completed the appropriate results correctly. Party agents and/or observers signed the results declaration forms in nearly 100 percent of cases. In nearly a quarter of counts observed the results form was not posted, missing an important safeguard on the transparency of the counting process.

The Center has observed a high number of rejected votes and appeals to the IEBC and other stakeholders to address this in the short term. In the meantime, political paIties and their leaders should refrain from releasing one sided figures or making inflammatory statements. Instead we advise them to cooperate with the IEBC and appeal to their supporters to remain calm, refraining from any action that may lead to compromising security of the elections in general and the Kenyan people in particular.

Tabulation

To promote transparency and reduce corruption, the IEBC has followed international best practice by providing party agents with signed copies of the polling station results. Polling

12 UN, TCCPR, art. 25; AU, AfCHPR, art. I 3 13 African Charter, art. 17(1); UNHRC General Comment 25, para. 20; UN Convention against Corruption, art. 1819

Page 104: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

station tallies were posted at the completion of the count and presiding officers were to transmit the presidential results directly to the national tally center via an electronic results system designed for use via mobile handset. In theory, every polling station result for the presidential election would have been transmitted to the national tally center once counting was completed on election night. Media and the public also have direct access to this feed, an impressive commitment to transparency and providing an important means to get provisional results into the public domain quickly. Unfortunately this has 110t been the case and while a significant number of results (representing some 40 percent) were posted within 24 hours of the close of polls, the majority were not.

The legal official results are on paper tally sheets fl'om each polling station and these are to be transported securely to the 290 constituency tally centers, where once again they are to available for scrutiny of palty agents and observers and publicly posted. At the time of this statement, Carter Center observers report that this process has largely occurred without problem. Once completed at the constituency level, presidential tallies are to be delivered directly to the national tally center for final compilation by the IEBe.

Meanwhile, the remainder of the tabulation process will continue for the other elections and move up the chain to the 47 county tally centers. The Center hopes that political parties and observers will continue to follow the tabulation process to its conclusion to ensure that clear, detailed results by polling station are l~ecorded and confirmed. Calter Center long-teml observers will remain deployed to the completion of the results process.

The detailed, written procedures and guidelines for the organization and processing of polling station results have not been made available by the IEBC to the Center. General procedures were published but while the tally process appears to have been well-conducted thus far, written procedures are essential in the event of any election disputes that may arise. In future elections, the IEBC should strive to release procedures earlier.

The Center encourages political patties and candidates to continue to exercise patience as the results process continues and to bring any complaints they may have to the appropriate legal channels.

The Judiciary

Impunity within the justice system undermined the rule of law and underscored the need for urgent cOlTective measures to prevent a crisis similar to what Kenya experienced in the last elections. In 2011, the Vetting of Judges and Magistrates Act was passed by parliament, establishing the Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board to vet the suitability of all judges and magistrates who were in office on the effective date of the new constitution. The work of the board has resulted in a clean-up of the judiciary with judges whose qualifications and integlity were questioned being dismissed from service.

In addition to the vetting process, the new constitution provided for a deep reform of the judiciary system as a whole. The Supreme Court has the highest jurisdiction in the country, followed by the Court of Appeal, High Courts, Magistrate's Courts, and other Subordinate Courts. The appointment and dismissal of judges and magistrates, vested by an independent Judicial Service Commission, was an essential step to renew the trust of Kenyan citizens in their

Page 105: Replying Affidavit of Ahmed Issack Hassan(Vol 1)-t

judicial system. The renewed judicimy and legal framework provides a credible dispute resolution mechanism that renders unjustifiable the use of violence as a tool to contest election results .

The efficient distribution of cases between magistrate's courts for county representatives, high comis for parliamentary, senatorial, govemorship, and women representative contestants, and the Supreme Court for the presidential elections will be instlUmental to a swift resolution of disputes. However, with only 70 high cOUli judges in place and a period of six months to determine election disputes, along with the priority put on electoral cases, there is a strong likelihood that the courts will be forced to priOlitize electoral disputes over their normal work, potentially impeding access to justice for Kenyans. In a highly charged political atmosphere for elections to entirely new offices, Kenyans will have to be patient just as the judiciary must ensure that fhll access to redress is enabled.

) Electoral Dispute Resolution

·.1

l . J

Efficient electoral dispute mechanisms, including, as necessruy, the provision of a fair and public hearing before a tribunal, are essential to ensure that effective remedies are available for the redress of violations of fundamental rights related to the electoral process. 14 The Carter Center welcomes the fast tracking of all elections related matters by the judicialY and the establishment of the Judiciary Working Committee on Election Preparations by the chief justice to develop strategies to efficiently and effectively manage elections disputes. The Center also commends the special training received by all judges, magistrates, and court registrars to handle elections offences and disputes. The judiciary's adoption of the Election Petitions Rules and Supreme Court Rules on Presidential Election Petitions enhances the transparency and credibility of the institution while providing stakeholders with clear lUles for the settlement of disputes. The Carter Center also commends the judiciary for having published the rules governing electoral petitions in the newspapers, making them clear and accessible to all stakeholders.

In the period building up to the elections, the judiciary addressed mUltiple cases directly affecting the electoral process. These included all the matters arising from the delimitation of electoral units at the constituency and ward levels and questions on the election date. A number of cases relating to the procm-ement process of the IEBC and one against international observers also were filed and concluded before the elections.

Of significance to note is the case on procurement of ballot papers filed and concluded a few days before the elections. This case presented a tense period for the voters as its determination had significant impact on the IEBC meeting critical operational deadlines. A recent decision of the court was given in regards to the integrity of a presidential candidate and his running mate on Feb. 15, 2013. The efficiency with which the courts have dealt with matters coming before it has increased the credibility of the judicimy's ability to settle electoral disputes with impartiality.

3.2 Acquisition of the Biometric Voter Registration Kits

In July 2013, the IEBC terminated the procurement process for the supply of 9,750 BVR kits. It next announced a return to manual voter registration because there was not enough time to begin a new tender process. After several delays Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) system for use in the general elections was acquired through a government to Government transaction bewteen Kenya and Canada following a cabinet directive. A contract was signed on September 24th 2013 between Canada and Kenya to supply 15,000 kits. Because the agreement was for more kits than the original 9,750, the cost increased. Shipping costs to send more kits to Kenya in a shorter period of time also contributed to the slightly higher cost of the agreement. The last batch of BVR kits was delivered to the IEBC on 2nd March 2013. The Kits manufactured by Safran Morpho in France were delevered in six weeks rather than the three months originally proposed.

Reports from 1,364 registration centres showed that 87.8% of registration centres opened on the 1 st day of registration on 19th November 2012 while 12.2% did not due to various reasons.

3.3 Court Decision on the Election Date and Eligibility of certain candidates to participate in the Elections

On 13th January 2012, the High Court of Kenya exercising jurisdiction conferred by Article 165 (3) (d) of the Constitution permitting it hear any question in respect of the interpretation of the Constitution ruled in the Constitutional Petition No. 65 and 123 of 2011 that elections be held in March 2013, unless President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga disband the coalition government by the end of October 2012. The Court observed that the dissolution of the coalition government established by the National Accord was a key determinant. The accord states that the coalition government stands dissolved when either of the coalition parties agree in writing or one coalition partner withdraws from the mediated arrangement. If the elections were to be held this year, it will have to be within 60 days after the coalition government has been disbanded. This is according to section 6 of the National Accord and Reconciliation Act.

The nominations were largely regarded as largely as shambolic. There were confusion, disorganisation and irregularities witnessed across the country. The parties did not put in place effective dispute resolution mechanisms leaving the IESC to settle the same rapidly. Some disputes ended up in the High Court.

3.6 Court Cases Against Aspirants

In the Petition No 552 of 2012, individuals and civil society groups of International Commission of Jurist(ICJ-Kenya), Kenya Human Rights Commission and International Center for Policy and Conflict (ICPC) challenged the eligibility of Mr Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto, presidential candidate and running mate respectively who are facing crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court (ICC) stemming from the 2007/08 post-election violence that followed a disputed presidential election.

In some instances the voting streams were either inadequate to accommodate the long queues and/or the staff of IEBC misdirected the public to the voting streams.

• There was widespread malfunction of Electronic Voter Identification machines in several polling stations including Highrise, Kileleshawa Primary School, Kenya High School, Madaraka Primary School (Nairobi), Maweni(Mombasa), Lamu, Tharaka Nithi, Homa Bay, Semeta and Bukarati polling centres in Majoge-Bassi and South Mugirango Constituencies, Kisii County necessitating the IEBC officials to use manual registers that caused delays. At Nairobi Primary School, voters insisted on using the Electronic Poll Book machines because they did not trust the manual registers.

The polling results were transmitted simultaneously to the constituency, county and National Tallying Centers through the Electronic Results Transmission (ERT) System even as voting was still continuing in the polling stations that either opened late or had long queues or experienced delays for various reasons. The IEBC experienced ERT system failure leading to momentary delays in transmission of results to the National Tallying Centre at Bomas of Kenya.

There were no incidences of violence reported from any of the polling stations during the opening, voting and close of the polling stations throughout the country except for Garissa where there was gunfire at two of the polling station during the tallying of votes. A policeman allegedly accidentally shot dead an IEBC presiding officer Mr Waithanji Mwaniki of Ichichi Polling Station while transporting election results in Kangema.

At the time of writing this statement, it was estimated that the voter turnout was over 70%, the tallying of votes was still in progress and about 315,220, votes was reported spoilt out of 5,318,094 votes cast. There was no consistency in various polling stations on what constituted a spoilt vote.

6. CONCLUSION

The voting process experienced massive failure of the Electronic Voter Identification machines leading to the use of printed Poll Books and the Electronic Results Transmission (ERT) System experienced momentary failure leading to delays in tallying of votes.

IEBC is required by law to release the final vote tally within seven days after the close of Polls and patience is required to enable the IEBC exercise their constitutional mandate. This report is preliminary in nature and it is too early to make any determinations or conclusions on the electoral process.
