NTV Kenya has revealed that after the scrutiny of the first batch of ballot boxes and recounting of votes ordered by the Supreme Court has failed to yield any glaring discrepancies in presidential election results.

According to the NTV Kenya, at the time of posting this news, only nine out of 45 ballot boxes had been opened, scrutinised and votes recounted a process that was closely overseen by the registrar of the Supreme Court, Ms Letizia Wachira, and her staff.

The nine boxes according to the NTV Kenya were from Majengo and Mvita primary schools in Mombasa County.

According to NTV Kenya, the results after recounting closely matched the content as written in the Form 34A in favour of each presidential candidate were largely tallied.

However according to NTV Kenya, issues that emerged in some cases are the failure to fill Form 34A, failure to seal rejected ballot papers, lack of stamps and missing physical voters’ registers.
