KOT wait with baited breath for the ‘big announcement’
Kenyans online were anxiously waiting for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to announce the final results for the presidential race.
The electoral commission indicated that it would on Friday afternoon announce the final results of the Tuesday general election.
Users weighed in on how the announcement had slowed down activities across the country as Kenyans waited.
Others used some comic relief to ease the tension online.
So @IEBCKenya you guys call a briefing to tell us to be calm & go to work? Announce the results already,

#PresidentialResultsKE I pray that this election results may not deepen the tribal divide, but rather unite as Kenyans.
