Are you sure about this? Has it been officially confirmed? about the reduction I am sure...about the 50k should have said a higher figure lets say that 174000 figure given above... So far they form 0.72%.....circa 72K votes in total!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

What law is applying? The Elections Act,the regulations thereof and all subsidiary legislation cannot supersede the constitution.That is simple legal parlance... Art 138(4) is clear on the tallying process it reads "A candidate shall be declared elected as President if the candidate receives (a) more than half of ALL the votes cast in the election.Its an issue of statutory interpretation but its actually very simple... possunt quia posse videntur

I thought SUBSIDIARY LAW is always DERIVED from the SUPREME LAW??? Therefore, subsidiary law further elaborates the supreme law, or so I thought! TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

There is a difference between ballots and votes! Rejected ballots are not "votes cast"

What law is applying? Whaaat!! if this is true, then this election is a wrap.. I don't know of any democracy anywhere where rejected votes are added to the total tally..I thought our constitution was borrowed from the very best in the world..this is serious stress.. It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.
