Kenya’s opposition leader Raila Odinga is leading the presidential race, according to partial official results, as the country remained on tenterhooks for the final election outcome.
With just more than 26 percent of votes counted, Odinga had 54 percent and his main rival – Deputy President William Ruto – had 45 percent, the results provided by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) showed on Saturday.
The election, which was held on Tuesday, is being closely watched as a test of stability in Kenya, which is one of East Africa’s wealthiest nations and its most vibrant democracy.
