President Uhuru Kenyatta appeared headed for re-election on Wednesday but his rival Raila Odinga claimed a massive hacking attack had manipulated results, ratcheting up tensions in east Africa’s richest economy.
With ballots from 92 per cent of polling stations counted, electoral commission (IEBC) results showed Kenyatta leading with 54.4 per cent of the nearly 14 million ballots tallied against Odinga’s 44.7 per cent, a difference of 1.3 million votes.
“These results are fake, it is a sham. They cannot be credible,” Odinga told a Press conference in early hours of the morning.
