This is how people spoilt votes....



Frankly speaking though this is a shame for us to have rejected votes as the 3rd highest votes in the country, it is very damning. If it is a case of the votes in the wrong box but marked correctly then I agree they should count...can you imagine those wold men and women in shagz struggling to tell between beige and white???

Now hassan says this votes are included in the final tally.
Why not devide the votes according to the final percentage each presidential candidate will get?
This constitution needs an overhawl because this are the same constitutional mess we are having when executing the 1/3 gender rule

Assume I am a CORD fanatic in a Jubilee stronghold. All I will care about is for the presidency since I know my other votes wont count, so I will pick all ballot papers, 6 of them, vote for my candidate but drop all the ballot papers in the presidential ballot box. That will mean a vote for my preferred presidential candidate and 5 rejected votes. 20 of us means 100 rejected votes and so on. In a race where we want to block our opponent from 1st round win, this method can work. My view is that the constitution need to be amended to reflect 50% +1 of valid votes cast. One word would make a lot of difference and save billions of shillings.

How?I don't understand your post.

Every time I hear this argument I get confused by lawyers.

Sure the constitution says cast votes.

They forget to say that the same constitution says exactly how the votes are supposed to be dealt with.

ie 1. opend the presidential vote, count, seal it

obviously that by itself says that a rejected vote is not considered to be a cast vote.

I know ODM wants to win this election by any means necessary. But using such things is an example of the folly of electing them.

You don't have to win an election by hook and crook.

There were rules to engagement that were laid down before the election began.

Your own agents agreed that a particular vote was to be rejected. It doesn't matter if that number was 1 or 50 million. A rejected vote is a rejected vote.

I find those trying to use this argument to be insincere to the core.
