As at 3.50pm this afternoon HE Uhuru Kenyatta has 7,930,242 votes.
His opponent Raila Odinga has 6,529,158 .
The total number of counted polling stations is currently 39,159 meaning that a balance of 1,724 polling stations have yet to declare.
Legally, the maximum number of voters per polling station is 700 voters meaning that the MAXIMUM number of uncounted votes available is 1, 206,800.
Assuming Raila Odinga got EVERY REMAINING UNCOUNTED VOTE (which is impossible), he would have a total of 7,735,958.
The total number of votes that could be cast, adding together all valid votes counted so far plus the maximum possible uncounted figure of 1,206,800 is 15,794,318
50%+1 of this total is 7,898,738.
Accordingly, Uhuru Kenyatta has already passed the constitutional threshold by 31,504 votes, and it is therefore mathematically impossible for Raila Odinga to catch him.
Given the above facts, I CALL THIS ELECTION IN FAVOUR OF UHURU KENYATTA.
CONGRATULATIONS MR. PRESIDENT.
