    What happened to the LIVE presentation of how the votes are coming in or reported from the polling stations? This is causing doubts on the outcome of the elections. Winning all the Gikuyu votes is almost an automatic win for whoever gets them……It may not be going well for certain candidates and thats why the the reporting has stopped. I pray for peace in this country of ours.
