IEBC Chairman Ahmed Issack Hassan last evening  dismissed  rumours  that the apparently slow pace of releasing results was caused by a collapse of IEBC’s computer servers or lack of data backup.

“That is not true,” he said at news conference last evening. “The truth is that the results from polling stations delayed.” This, he added, was due to the large numbers of voters, the greater number of ballot papers and extensions to voting time to accommodate those in line at 5pm.
