Further, the lawyer told Justice Joseph Sergon that Mr Owino admitted in court that he voted in a polling station where he was not registered as a voter. Mr Lagat said the only way to determine the accurate election results is a recount of votes. He also told the judge that there were instances where votes were increased in favour of Mr Owino, and deflation of his client’s votes. He cited including Embakasi Social Hall Polling Station Number 6, Embakasi Social Hall Polling Station Number 7, Embakasi Primary School Polling Station Number 6, Edelvale Primary School Polling Station Number 3, Edelvale Primary School Polling Station Number 4, and Soweto Social Hall Polling Station Number 28. Mr Owino, through lawyer Jackson Awele, said the lack of stamps in 44 random polling stations should not be the basis for a recount.
