The validation and publishing of the official presidential results started on Wednesday at the Bomas of Kenya auditorium as the Independent and Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) looked to restore confidence in the exercise already facing serious doubts from the opposition.
This came after Nasa presidential candidate Raila Odinga questioned the authenticity of the results the IEBC had been streaming since Tuesday evening when the polls officially closed.
