In Kenya, the re-tallying of votes cast in 22 polling stations during the March 4 presidential polls has begun, as ordered by the Supreme Court on Monday.
Tallying officers were sworn in this morning and they have begun the task of verifying the votes at the Kenyatta International Conference Center.
Police have been dispatched to the KICC to ensure security, and members of the press have been barred from the tallying venue.
The Supreme Court orders the re-tallying exercise to verify that the number of votes cast at the polling centers did not exceed the number of registered voters, as claimed by CORD leader Raila Odinga.
The results of the tallying exercise must be filed with in the court registry by by Wednesday 4pm.
