Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga on Saturday, April 1, share a link to a website that hosted what he termed the actual results of the 2022 General Elections. 
 
Kenyans.co.ke accessed the website before it crashed. Inside, Raila claimed he won the election with over eight (8) million votes, while President William Ruto closely followed with over (5) five million.
 
"We'd like to reiterate that the collated results on this link, https.//kenyaelectionresults.com leave no room for doubt that Azimio emerged victorious in the last election.
 
"In light of this, we strongly urge Mr Ruto to vacate his office immediately, ahead of the upcoming," Raila declared while reiterating that protests would proceed Monday, April 3.

The site also detailed the poling centres where results were allegedly altered and the difference in the numbers.

However, the website's public Internet Protocol (IP) address seemed to have been deactivated immediately after Raila shared his numbers.

A click on the link that Raila provided did generate error 500, which is a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) challenge to a hosting server.  

It is not clear whether Raila's domain was purposely deactivated or a technical error occurred on the hosting gateway.

Twitter users expressed their frustrations, noting that were not able to access the same results on the website. 

Raila had for the last since months claimed that Ruto did not win the August 2022 President Election, and faulted the Independent and Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for aborting his win.  

IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati declared Ruto the winner of the Presidential Election with with 50.5 per cent of the vote. 

However, Ruto dismissed vote rigging allegation, noting that Raila was simply trying to find his way into his Kenyan Kwanza government. 

In response, Raila organised mass action that began on Monday, March 20, to protest against the Kenya Kwanza government.
