Example 10:
One of the critical things that IEBC has to come clear on is on how they calculate their % turn-out rate 😅....
See this and remember the total registered voters are 22,120,458
1. On 9th August during media briefing, IEBC through Commisioner Jualiana Cherera indicated that as of around 12.00 noon, 6,567,869 people had voted translating to a turn-out rate of 30.65%. However, that number when subjected to the total registered voters translates to 29.69% which is 0.96% less than what the Commissioner reported
2. At around 4.00 p.m. of the same day, IEBC through Commissioner Mr. Francis Wanderi reported that 12,065,803 people had voted and indicated that this translated to 56.17% turn-out. However, that number translates to 54.55% which is 1.62% less than what the Commissioner reported as the % turn-out
3. On 10th August, IEBC Chairman Chebukati reported that the turn-out % was 65.4%, but less than 20 minutes later he corrected himself and said the % turn-out was 64.6% and this translated to 14,164,561. Now, 64.6% isn't equal to the figure he gave, rather it's equal to 14,289,816; while the number of 14,164,561 which was equated to 64.6% in actually equal to 64.03%
🤷???....either IEBC was using a different denominator, and thus needs to explain how and why; or their % turn-out calculation was all wrong 🤔
...seems IEBC would in future would need to have a qualified Statistician as a Commissioner 😅
