Orengo: Conflicting reports on the voter totals used in the presidential election came from Chebukati
"According to the first respondent (IEBC), who made the announcement on August 9, just 52% of the total number of registered voters actually cast ballots." Orengo stated
"The second responder (Chebukati) declared on August 10 that 14,466,779 people, representing 65.4% of eligible voters, had cast ballots in the general election." He added
Orengo continued by claiming that there was a significant change in the figures after Chebukati released the Form 34C findings, which showed a reduced voter turnout of 14,213,037.
The figures given to each of the four presidential contenders, however, do not equal the total number of voters who cast ballots, according to Orengo.
Contrary to that, he stated, the total voter turnout recorded and reported in the final results in Form 34C was 14,213,137 votes, which is ridiculously less than was initially predicted.
"The figure that results is not what was said but is 14,213,037 if you look at the results as announced and what is was in Form 34C as the turnout of voters, if you add the number of votes cast for each contender." he said
Because of this, he rejected the 50 percent plus one criteria that allowed Ruto to win the election, saying the calculations were based on erroneous math.
Orengo stated, "The statistics do not agree at all. I encourage the court to assess the amount of votes collected by each candidate.
The IEBC chairman said that "the computation of the figure 50 plus one was based on a faulty computation on the total votes cast."
