Other observations Nyanza definitely an ODM wave despite unhappiness with the nominations process, end of Ford People as the dominant party in Kisii – ODM losing out due to flawed nominations, Central – wide open unlike Nyanza no 3 piece voting, Safina surprisingly strong.

ECK Briefing was really a waste of time. Provisional results were announced for only 3 constituencies and one of them didn’t even include the MP results. People are starting to get anxious now because they should have tallies from a lot more constituencies and should have been able to have a more substantive briefing this morning. Poor showing from them this morning. They are blaming the high turnout and the need for accuracy.
