A photo of Cord leader Raila Odinga engaging in a tense stare-down with a female Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) clerk at a voter registration center has spread rapidly across social media platforms.
The incident occurred during an impromptu visit by Mr. Odinga to Lavington Primary, where he alleged that individuals had been registered using fake ID card numbers, such as 0, 00, or 2. According to him, a valid Kenyan ID card should have 8 figures.
As he described the situation on Twitter:

However, IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati has denied these claims.
A photograph capturing the intense moment between Mr. Odinga and the IEBC clerk has been widely shared on various social media platforms, including WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Telegram, prompting numerous reactions.
The recovered account cited reporting by Nairobi News.
