Kenyans for Peace with Truth and Justice (KPTJ)Following our own requests, those of voters and of the Parliamentary Justice and Legal Affairs Committee for release of the final election results, we hereby request the immediate publication of the final and detailed results of the March 4, 2013 general elections.
The IEBC has a Constitutional mandate to deliver results efficiently as a requirement of the IEBC Act of 2012, Section 4(c), to discharge all of their duties in a professional, timely and efficient manner and in line with the rule of law. The requirement for timely results transmission falls within any definition of an efficient election in keeping with Article 25 (e) (5).
Electoral results are public information, by the legal requirement of Article 27(1) of the IEBC Act of 2012: “The Commission shall publish and publicize all important information within its mandate affecting the nation.” As such, this is information which the public has a right to receive in its entirety and without delay. Without the results of this process, Kenyan citizens are unable to take stock as a country, to analyse, and learn from past mistakes to continue to refine and improve our electoral processes.
