Raila nd'o kiboka yao...Anachukua hii kitu bila pingamizi yoyote.Labda huyo Kibaki na jamaa zake waibe kura. Wakenya walisubiri mabadiliko baada ya kura 2002 walipomuondoa Moi.Alipoingia Kibaki alimgeuka Raila na kuungana na kuwapa jamaa za kabila lake ofisi nyeti hususan katika wizara ya fweza.Licha ya hayo kukawa na skendo za mabilioni ya hela na ni Raila aliyewafahamisha wakenya.Kwa hivyo Raia wa kawaida licha ya makabila ua dhehebu, wameamua kumtoa Kibaki na kumpa Raila nafasi ya kuongoza Kenya.Naomba kuwasilisha.

President Kibaki trails in Kenyan election -- media

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Opposition leader Raila Odinga pulled ahead of
Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki on Friday in the race to lead east
Africa's biggest economic power, according to early tallies by local
media.
Partial results from three television channels all gave Odinga, son
of a nationalist hero, a big lead, though a separate exit poll put
Kibaki ahead in what many had forecast would be Kenya's closest
election.
If Odinga won, Kibaki would be the first of Kenya's three post-
independence presidents to be ousted by the ballot box.
At 1:30 p.m. (1030 GMT), unofficial TV results by KTN, compiled from
tallies at counting centres, gave Odinga 2,141,126 votes compared
with 1,414,599 for Kibaki -- representing over a third of the ballots
thought to have been cast.
Some 14 million Kenyans were eligible to vote, although turnout is
expected to have been between 8 and 10 million.
As official counts slowly reached a Nairobi conference centre ringed
by armed guards, the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) said
provisional results would be announced throughout Friday, but that
the process could stretch into Saturday.
"There's no excuse for our field officers not to have sent us results
that were announced by the media two hours ago," said ECK
Commissioner Jack Tumwa. "The country is getting restless."
Officials earlier gave the outcome from just two of Kenya's 210
constituencies: One chose Odinga and the other picked the president,
both by vast majorities in a reflection of deeply entrenched
tribalism.
The ECK said turnout looked to be the highest since multi-party
politics was reintroduced in 1992. International observers said
Thursday's voting had gone smoothly, despite sporadic violence and
allegations of rigging by both sides.
'ENVY OF AFRICA'
An early exit poll by the Institute for Education in Democracy (IED),
a respected non-governmental organisation, gave the president 50.3
percent compared with 40.7 for Odinga.
But it was based on just 311 of 27,000 polling stations and was later
replaced with a note on the IED Web site saying the authors wanted to
avoid confusion with the actual results.
Diplomats say the poll was only the second truly democratic one in a
country that votes largely on ethnic and geographic lines and spent
39 years under single-party rule until Kibaki's landslide victory in
2002.
Kibaki, 76, wants a second five-year term before retiring to his
highland tea farm after a political career that has spanned Kenya's
post-independence history.
With a record of average economic growth of 5 percent, he has the
support of his Kikuyu tribe, Kenya's largest and most economically
powerful, but trailed narrowly in pre-vote polls.
Odinga, a 62-year-old businessman educated in communist East Germany,
wants to be the first in his Luo tribe to take the country's top job.
That was the unrealised dream of his father, Kenya's first vice-
president, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, whose falling out with founding
president Jomo Kenyatta seeded the Luo-Kikuyu rivalry.
Should he win, Odinga will have to enlist Kikuyu support and allay
fears among some in business circles that he could be a left-wing
radical.
"The ECK has run elections with efficiency and independence that
should be the envy of the rest of Africa," the Daily Nation newspaper
said in an editorial.
Television stations said a clutch of big names had lost parliamentary
seats, including the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai
and Vice-President Moody Awori, as well as 10 ministers and the two
sons of former president Daniel arap Moi.
Kamlesh Pattni, a tycoon accused of being the architect of a graft
scandal that nearly ruined Kenya's economy, also looked set to lose
his bid to win a Nairobi seat.

Kenya poll delay sparks ethnic violence

KISUMU, Kenya (Reuters) - Machete-wielding gangs fought, looted and burned homes in Kenyan opposition strongholds on Saturday when delays in presidential poll results ignited tribal tensions in east Africa's economic power.
Most of the trouble was between Luo supporters of opposition challenger Raila Odinga and members of President Mwai Kibaki's Kikuyu ethnic group, which have a long history of rivalry in Kenya's four decades of independence.
Odinga has led early tallies from Thursday's vote, but Kibaki was narrowing the gap on Saturday, and the opposition said it feared the government was plotting to steal victory.
"We are sensing a plan to rig the elections," taxi cyclist Eric Ochieng, 18, said in the middle of riots in western Kisumu city, in Odinga's homeland. "We will not accept this," he told Reuters as smoke billowed overhead.
From early morning, hundreds of youths took to the streets of Kisumu -- a normally sleepy city on the shores of Lake Victoria -- burning tyres, ransacking shops and blocking roads.
Residents said at least one person had died.
In Nairobi's Kibera shantytown, also a hotbed of Odinga support, locals said two people were killed in skirmishes and police deployed as rival ethnic gangs faced off.
Residents said trouble began in the sprawling slum -- one of Africa's biggest -- before dawn. Shots were fired, and numerous shacks torched. Armed police stood between two gangs, one Luo, the other Kikuyu, who were brandishing knives and clubs.
"The Luos say the Kikuyus are trying to rig it," said Kibera resident Abdulrahman Ramadhan.
In Kisumu, and other pro-opposition western areas, looters targeted Kikuyu businesses.
"We have just started. We will loot all Kikuyu shops and kill them on sight," said Richard Ondigi, 23, a driver.
One crowd waving machetes yelled "Death to Kikuyus" as youths carried off stolen goods including furniture and crates of drinks. Young boys swigged looted beer.
"It looks like these demonstrations will continue until Odinga is declared president," said one senior police commander, who asked not to be named.
TEMPERATURE RISING
In Nairobi, streets were near-deserted in the city centre as business owners pulled down shutters on their stores. Truckloads of military police poured in to patrol.
Odinga, the wealthy heir of a nationalist hero, appeared to have built up a commanding lead following presidential and parliamentary elections on Thursday that were largely peaceful.
But tensions rose on Saturday as results trickling in showed Kibaki narrowing the gap. Opposition activists shouted down election officials at several news conferences, saying the hold-up was part of plots to steal victory for the incumbent.
By 11 a.m. (0800 GMT), the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) had results from just over half of 210 constituencies, showing Odinga up by 3.57 million votes against 3.26 million.
An unofficial, partial tally by broadcaster KTN also gave Odinga the lead with 4.05 million votes to 3.68 million. Both Kibaki's Party of National Unity (PNU) and Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) demanded an explanation for the delay.
"I ask the president himself to step in now and calm the temperature," ODM official Joseph Nyaga told Reuters. "This is not Nigeria," he said, referring to April's disputed poll there.
The latest results did not include many constituencies in the Central and Eastern provinces, where Kibaki is expected to dominate in voting that will largely follow tribal lines.
PNU said it suspected some parties might be deliberately interfering with the process to "create a false sense of an impending victory for ODM's presidential candidate."
PNU said it expected Kibaki, 76, to win by 300,000 to 500,000 votes, based on tallies from its own voting agents. The ECK says it expects a record turnout for what became Kenya's tightest race since British colonial rule ended in 1963.
