Nice observation by the election Observers. AU election observation team wrote:Mbeki also expressed concern about the "inflexible" way in which ballots were interpreted, resulting in around 400 000 rejected ballots out of almost 15 million cast.
"What we find is that the voter has ticked a particular box. Ninety percent of the tick is in a particular box, and 10% spilled over into the next box. In this instance they then rejected that particular ballot, the IEBC and party agents," he said. "Now certainly to me it looked a bit odd."
Mbeki said more voter education was needed to get it right, but also hinted that, if a voter’s intention was clear, the ballot should be accepted.

At this point in time personally I say he can go to hell!!!! He has also lost that statesmanship mantle if you ask me. I will give much RESPECT to the first Kenyan to show Raila the middle finger....and to hell with his statemanship. I don't eat that!! Do you remember when he was sent to Ivory Coast to resolve the Ouatara and Gbagbo (pole for him. he is in ICC remand jails) electoral imperse. He said Ouatara had won and Gbagbo should step down...Unfortunately RAO was chased away. He is doing exactly the opposite of what he was advising Gbagbo to do... Ishidwe!!!NKT! ...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...

I said it then and still insists that Raila should have retired after 2013 elections!!! Poor decision In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Now, where Kalonzo expected there would be a vast plain where the mountain once stood, there is a large shadow of the same mountain. POOR MAN!!  Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Remember when they retreated to SA or was it TZ in 2013, he should call a presser, concede thank his royal supporters over 6M,thank his foot soldiers for a long time, orengo, sultan, anyang then take a well earned vacation, he should then fade off kibaki and Moi style. To Each His Own

Now, where Kalonzo expected there would be a plain after 8th, there is a large shadow of the mountain. Yes that was best timing to retire. Second best is now. But, reasons why this has not been forthcoming: 1)This is one man who drinks politics, eats politics, dreams politics every single day. Quitting is thus not easy for him, he wouldn't know what to do on day 2 after quitting. 2)He has lot's of hangers on who know their career is over when baba calls it a day. For now they only need to be sycophants so as to survive. Exit baba and they have to show results to survive. These cannot let him go 3) Sadly, he believes he is still fighting the fight of his father 4) He has spent billions since he started running in '97 and always hoped payback time will come one day. etc, etc Factor all that and you realize it's not as easy as 1,2,3 for him to suddenly declare he has retired.. it is a tragedy IMHO

Okay... ....His other choice is to call his troops to the streets to protest against a democratically elected government. A few will be dispatched before normalcy resumes. Can't see how that will help him but again it may soothe his big ego a bit. Talking of hang-ons and sycophants, i would really like to know how Timothy Bosire and Noman Magaya are doing Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
