The votes are in. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) reports that only 231 0f the 314 registered voters at the Washington DC polling Station cast their ballot on Tuesday.
The electoral body had identified 12 countries where Kenyans in diaspora will be able to vote.

Out of about two million Kenyans residing in various countries, a paltry 10,444 are eligible to vote for their preferred presidential candidate in the August 9 poll.
The commission’s verified countries are Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, South Africa, United Kingdom, Canada, USA, South Sudan, Qatar, UAE, and Germany.
