        It was a #Referendum on Uhuru Kenyatta. He lost badly. As The Economist puts it : "Election was PREPOSTEROUSLY FLAWED"

        There was no election in Kenya. We are waiting for a new date. All the same, Raila is our president. We don't recognize Uhuru Nkurunzizza

        #Raila said don't be part of sham election and the PEOPLE heeded. Dismal turnout now blamed on rains/drought in parts of the country. Shame!

        Failure to vote is the strongest vote ever especially in countries which are ruled by despotic regimes. U simply can’t steal votes not cast!

        BBC has the facts. The figure of 6.5m representing 34% came from the IEBC Chairman himself.
