KENYAN MEDIA STOPS BROADCASTING PROVISIONAL RESULTS

KENYA’S elections were largely peaceful but disputes over previous presidential votes have been followed by deadly violence, fueling jitters as provisional results point to a tight race between frontrunners William Ruto and Raila Odinga.

Kenyan media stopped broadcasting the provisional results of the country’s presidential poll, raising questions over the outcome of the vote as the counting process entered its fourth day on Friday.

Kenya’s general elections, held on Tuesday to choose the fifth president, county governors, senators and members of the National Assembly, were largely peaceful, free and fair, according to pan-african blocs.

EU election observers also said that elections in Kenya were marked by less tension compared to previous occasions, according to Africanews. They did, however, raise concerns about the counting process as they had been kept away from it. |
