@masukuma, I know it's Friday but can you break down to us today's ruling that Presidential​ results announced at the constituency are final and cannot be varied/ altered.
I am not masukuma but according to taifa leo.

This means that the section of the Elections Act that gave IEBC the mandate to vary presidential election results submitted by returning officers at the constituency levels has been declared unconstitutional.
Quote:
The judges have consequently ruled that a returning officer at the constituency level has the mandate to declare final presidential election results and that any other person seeking to have what will be announced altered should do that through an election petition filed in court.
mimi naona shida, if a returning officer makes a mistake, does iebc announce the same or do they stop the tallying and go to court first.
