Ruto Leads as Provisional Tally By Nation Media Group Sums 50% of... CapitalFMKenya: Kenya
A provisional tally by the Nation Media Group gave Ruto a 300,000-vote lead with 50.9 per cent of the tallied vote against Odinga's 48.6 per cent.
The gap between the two candidates emerged even as IEBC updated the voter turnout figures to 64.6 per cent based on electors identified electronically using the Kenya Integrated Election Management System . The electoral commission had reported a 56.1 per cent KIEMS-based turnout at 4pm on Tuesday, an hour before voting closed with 12 million voters having voted at the time up from 6.5 million who had voted by midday.
Ruto's lead in the provisional tally came as the ruling Jubilee Party, a principal partner in Azimio Coalition Party -- suffered successive losses with a number of high-profile figures conceding defeat. "To the people of Ndaragwa, it has been an honor to serve you as your Member of Parliament. I accept the results with honor and contentment. Congratulations to Hon. George Gachagua on your election," Kioni tweeted.
