This article details how a coordinated effort, including a blackout at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) and the forceful extraction of the Electoral Commission Chairman, was allegedly used to declare Mwai Kibaki the winner of the 2007 Kenyan presidential election amidst escalating tensions.

• A key operative, former police sergeant Nimrod Mbai, was tasked with escorting ECK Chairman Samuel Kivuitu out of the KICC if violence erupted, highlighting the perceived danger of the situation.
• Government spokesman Alfred Mutua personally ordered the disconnection of power to the KICC, stating the objective was to ensure a controlled environment for the declaration of results.
• Despite initial refusal, Kivuitu eventually spoke with Mutua and was persuaded to announce results in a room with a waiting KBC camera crew, while opposition figures attempted to break into the room.
• Nearly two decades later, media owner SK Macharia admitted to altering election figures to ensure Kibaki's victory, while former commissioners express suspicion that the *outcome was doctored*.
