Kenya
Elections 2013
Millions of Kenyans poured into polling stations on March 4, to
cast their ballots in a crucial presidential election. Voter turnout was
tremendous, starting hours before dawn, with lines of voters stretching nearly
a mile long. Some voters waited nine hours on their feet in the hot sun to cast
their ballot. The presidential election was the first since 2007 which ushered
in months of tribal violence that killed more than 1,000 people and displaced
600,000 from their homes. Election officials in Kenya are now counting ballots
by hand after abandoning the electronic tabulation system. With about a quarter
of votes counted, Uhuru Kenyatta, the scion of a political family who has been
accused by the International Criminal Court of financing death squads, held a
commanding lead of 55 percent to 41 percent over the second-place candidate,
Raila Odinga, Kenya's prime minister. Election observers cautioned that the
preliminary results might not be representative of the countrywide vote.
Kenyans await the results.
