In an unexpected turn of events, Kenyan presidential candidate Ekuru Aukot posted on his twitter handle that his party's auditing of the results transmission revealed a worrying trend. He further added that something went 'fundamentally wrong'.
A few days ago, Mr. Aukot had a press briefing to concede defeat and congratulate president elect Uhuru Kenyatta. He added that Raila Odinga had done his part in the development of multiparty democracy in Kenya.
However, the presidential candidate who garnered 27,385 votes on Tuesday 15 August posted the following tweet on his Twitter handle:
Kenyans had different reactions at this tweet.Good morning Kenya! Our auditing of the results transmission is revealing a worrying trend. Something went fundamentally wrong.— #Justice=Peace! (@EAukot) August 15, 2017
Even if @EAukot initially conceded that doesn't change what in-depth look at the numbers reveal. Allow Dr. Aukot to release the report.— Bashane II (@BashaneTwo) August 15, 2017
Errors did not emerge, they were glaring before, during and after. And Kenyans are emotional because they love their country— Rob M G (@robin_muigai) August 15, 2017

Only the truth and justice on what happened at transmission of results will set @IEBCKenya free.— #Justice=Peace! (@EAukot) August 15, 2017
Our statement was clear. While we accepted the results then, we also noted a problem with transmission. We promised to file report. https://t.co/9V7C272n2H— #Justice=Peace! (@EAukot) August 15, 2017
