>> Hello KICTANET.
>>
>> On 9th August, a day after Kenyans voted in the 2017 General Election,
>> opposition presidential candidate Raila Odinga alleged that the Independent
>> Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) database had been hacked and an
>> algorithm set to ensure an 11% difference in favour of incumbent President,
>> Uhuru Kenyatta at all levels of results transmission. To back up the
>> claims, Mr. Odinga’s political party National Super Alliance (NASA)
>> presented a log file apparently showing the details of the hack. These
>> claims have been repeatedly denied by the electoral commission. On
>> 11th August, the IEBC declared Uhuru Kenyatta as the winner of the election
>> with 54.27% of votes cast with Raila Odinga coming in second with 44.74%.
>>
>> In an attempt to respond to the hacking claims, CIPIT in collaboration
>> with HERMES audits the logs as evidence within the context of Kenyan
>> elections ecosystem and asks three questions: How is technology used in
>> Kenyan elections? Was the log file presented evidence of an attack that
>> changed the outcome of the election? How could this file have been
>> obtained?
>>
>> Our preliminary analysis rules out hacking based on the evidence
>> presented. Considering that absence of evidence does not necessarily imply
>> evidence of absence, this should not be taken to mean the IEBC may not have
>> been hacked. That conclusion requires access to the election system which
>> we do not have at the moment.
