29th December 2007: 11h15 local time
The ECK Chairman - Samuel Kivuitu - is due to address a press briefing at KICC anytime now.
Meanwhile, independent media tallying have their provisional results are follows:
Raila Odinga: 4.049m
Mwai Kibaki: 3.678m
Kalonzo Musyoka: 661k
However, there are a total of 30 constituencies countrywide whose results are not yet in. The balance constituencies have a combined total registered voter of 2.4 million votes! They include 5 constituencies in coast province, 2 in Nairobi, 3 in North Eastern, 1 in Central, 8 in Eastern and others whose details this blogger is still trying to establish.
It is strange that parliamentary and civic results for these balance constituencies are already officially announced by ECK but the presidential tallies are "unknown" tot he ECK although all votes were counted at the same time by the respective Returning Officers.
11h30 Kivuitu has arrived at KICC and press briefing for presidential results received by ECK thus far are as follows:

11h50 Kivuitu says ECK has counted 159 constituencies,
52 constituencies to go.
ECK trying to reach its returning officers in these areas and they are unreachable - ie phones are switched off!!!!
Kivuitu appeals to ECK agents to send in results and that they are known which means they will not have somewhere to hide.
