They are infact not transmittimg the results but announcing verified results.
By them not transmitting Provisional results arent they bypassing the law/constituion.
Will dig the elections act.

Just read the elections act ,very shallow just talks of technology for transmission. Let me check the Constituion. I think Kriegler commision recomendations were explicit on the provisional transmission.

they are not under obligation to

Krigler report had captured it. The elections act should be amended to capture this. Seems after 2013 and 2017 experience they decided to do away with it. Which in itself is not a solution.

Krigler commision was made because of ECK mishandling 2007. One reason is that media houses out did ECK in reporting the reaults.
If it recomended for transmission of provisional results then that should be incorporated in the laws and implemented.
In 2013 and 2017 the transmission is what allayed rigging claims we had an idea who had won the elections as we awaited official results.
Right now there is a vacum , everyone is throwing his numbers and declaring their favorite Presidential candidates as winners similar situation like 2007. You can see the commotion in Bomas Im very sure by tomorrow things will be hectic.

You very difficult person to explain things to. Kriegler has been passed by events and it is no longer relevant in Kenya electoral laws

The current laws must adhere to magara ruling. it didnt prohibit provisional results but it said they are not necessary and are not part of verification needed

IEbc is now concentration on verification needs to make sure elections are credible and verifiable

I have understood you , My point is for the elections act to be amended.(It was amended in 2016) . What is the purpose of the legislature then.

Provisional results are not necessary. May the thing we need to expedite is the verification process.

My view is that Verification is a vigorous process . Provisional results are just that provisional results . They should be transmitted as we await final verified results. It should be a sytem it will do away with wait and secondly avoid any mischief.
