Raila takes early lead

The Standard It was the day the Cabinet was massacred. The Vice-President humiliated in a constituency contest, and the President trailing by a million votes in the national tally.
Orange Democratic Movement candidate Mr Raila Odinga remained at the top of the charts throughout the night and the whole of Friday from the moment counting started.
Of the votes cast out of the possible 14.2 million registered, preliminary count gave Raila 3.3 million and Kibaki 2.3 million.
Raila opened a commanding lead in six of eight provinces and by last night some of his strongholds were yet to be tallied. ODM, Raila’s party, had secured 72 seats, PNU 18 and Kalonzo’s six.
