The voting in Kenya was decided today by a democratic style of voting which has been happening for the last few years. In 2007 and also in 2013 the voting turned out very violently and the country, especially cities, became overwhelmed by riots and chaotic behaviour amongst the two main ethnic tribes, Kikuyu and Luo.
Uhuru Kenyatta is from the Kikuyu tribe and Raila Odinga is from the Luo tribe. Uhuru is accused of rigging elections before. This year he has also been accused. It's also visible and recognised that Uhuru tries to mislead people by giving out the wrong information on public media. The polling is currently 54% for Uhuru, 44% for Raila and the remaining 2% goes to the other candidates. Although in some of the news reports it is said that Uhuru has upto 64% or even above 90%. The wrong information is actively misleading people in believing the majority voted for Uhuru.
Raila has been telling people to remain calm and be patient for them to solve the issue. Currently that is not the situation in Nairobi. Things have gone out of hand and people have been killed in horrific ways already before the voting was decided. Now people are remaining inside to avoid the warlike situation on the streets and public areas. All stores and shops are being closed down and even street vendors have stopped business. Citizens of Nairobi and Kisumu have already prepared their food stocks and drinks in advance of the voting. They had been prepping since a few days ago.
Uhuru shows that he has achieved a huge amount of expenses in promoting his campaign in the elections. Where the money comes from remains a mystery.
Supporters of Raila have been advised to vote very early because it has leaked that Uhuru's party is about to shut of the network. This was the message spread amongst the citizens of Nairobi:
"NASA SUPPORTERS VOTE LONG BEFORE NOON TOMORROW .... JUBILEE PLANS TO SHUT OFF NETWORK
Reports rolling in indicate that Jubilee supporters have been instructed to vote much earlier on the account that the government is going to shut dow all systems in order to sabotage the NASA stronghold voting as they do NOT have access to the same information as their counterparts. If you get this message pass it accordingly to at least 10 people within your circles.
There was a press conference by Raila alleging that JP strongholds have been advised to vote at least by noon because there will be network shutdown."
Further people have also been advised to avoid talking about the elections in any social media or chatting apps or networks. This might lead to imprisonment.
Further information will be provided later.
