I'm am so very impressed by Kenyans. The Election authority IEBC announced yesterday that they were scrapping the provisional reporting of results and will only now announce final results. Final results are (and always have been) hand-counted and delivered in person from the various polling stations around the country, but only after counting everything (i.e., the Presidential vote plus 5 other votes that were done simultaneously). The IEBC has estimated that final results will be released Friday. There was a bit of grumbling and then everyone just calmed down and has chilled out. We are now waiting patiently. Incredibly patiently. Most people stood in line for hours and hours to vote, and now people are waiting again, all very patiently. It's really very impressive.
