The law of Kenya states that if one of the two candidates does not receive more than 50% of the votes in the general election, there will be a second round. Sometimes conflicting media shows a close competition.
Kenyans are very concerned about the situation, remembering the massacres that happened in previous years’ elections, so they are very worried about who will be their next president, days after the end of the election.
But the question is who won the result of the election, which the Kenyan people do not have an answer to, as the answer is awaited from the electoral commission.
