ODM-Scandinavia wishes to announce that the Party branch is getting concerned at the delay in the announcement of the Presidential vote. It is over 29 hrs since the casting of the ballot but so far, no official announcement has been made.
The election results continues to flactuate. We have contacts with ODM headquarters and the Kenyan media including KTN and what we have seen is that at one point, Raila has been leading with 58.7% against Kibaki’s 39% while at another point, Raila’s lead has gone down to 50% against Kibaki’s 43% then Raila picks up the lead again with 58.7% then kibaki going down to 39% within a few hours.
So far we have not seen any fundamental change in the figures and this situation is creating serious concerns within ODM Scandinavia members as to how the winning percentage continue to be tabulated.
There is evidence that ballot papers have been introduced at specific polling stations for example Kamukunji, Matuga and Saitoti’s Kajiado in favour of Kibaki’s PNU candidates and this situation contiues to point to possible rigging.
We, ODM Scandinavia, recommends that the President elect Hon H.E Raila Amollo Odinga should call a Press conference and make an official statement concerning the issue because from our point of view, it looks like there are some irregularities going on.
This is not the first election in Kenya and, from our point of view, we are smelling an element of rigging of elections which we will not accept.
The ODM leadership should put on their “alert gears” because all indications are that something fishy is going on.
We demand that election results should be announced immediately by the Electoral commission. At the same time, we wish to appeal to Kenyans not to be duped during the delays in announcing the winner.
The anti-Kibaki struggle has been long and Kenyans should not accept the result of a rigged election.

ODM Scandinavia executive committee.
