ODM, PNU claim victory

The Standard Online Edition: "The outcome of the hotly contested polls appeared headed for a deadlock as the opposition leaders and government ministers both claimed victory.
The Orange Democratic Movement declared its Presidential candidate, Mr Raila Odinga, the winner, and asked President Kibaki to concede defeat and prepare to hand over power.
Kibaki’s ministers and officials later called a press conference and announced The Party of National Unity candidate President Mwai Kibaki had won by over 300,000 votes.
The declaration came as violence erupted in Nairobi, Kisumu, Kitale, Busia, Mombasa and Kakamega amid fears that the Government had hatched a plot to rig Kibaki back to power."
