肯尼亞大選計票結果：總統大幅領先

Nearly complete results from Kenya's election commission Wednesday showed President Uhuru Kenyatta well ahead of challenger Raila Odinga, who is challenging the tally and dismissing the result as a "sham."

Kenyatta led 54.6 percent to 44.5 percent over his longtime rival with about 90 percent of ballots counted.

Elections officials have up to a week to announce full results, but they may opt to announce the outcome as soon as possible to alleviate the possibility of violence.

Kenyans stood in line for hours Tuesday to cast ballots, facing rain and both cold and hot weather conditions throughout the day.

In addition to choosing between incumbent Kenyatta and challenger Odinga, voters also decided on senators, governors, women's representatives of the national assembly, members of the national assembly, and members of the county assemblies.

The electoral commission said heavy rain hampered voting in three parts of the country — Turkana North, Baringo and Samburu — and helicopters were required to airlift materials and polling officials.

Both candidates in the presidential race expressed confidence Tuesday as they cast their ballots in Nairobi.

Opposition leader Odinga told supporters gathered outside his polling station to “continue mobilizing to come out and vote. This victory is ours.”

President Kenyatta said the ruling Jubilee coalition had run a “very positive campaign” and that he believes Kenyans “want us to continue moving forward.”肯尼亞選舉委員會星期三計票階段進入尾聲，目前的結果顯示，肯尼亞總統肯雅塔大幅領先於挑戰他的奧廷加。奧廷加對選票清點提出質疑，稱計票結果“造假“。

大約90%的選票清點完畢後，肯雅塔得票率54.6%, 奧廷加得票率44.5%。

選舉官員最長可以有一週的計票時間，但是他們可能寧可儘早宣佈計票結果，以減少暴力發生的可能性。

星期二，肯尼亞選民不顧惡劣天氣，排隊幾小時參加投票。

除了要選出總統外，他們還要投票選出參議員，州長，議會裏的婦女代表，議會成員，和郡議會成員。

選舉委員會說，暴雨阻礙了三個地區的投票，有關方面不得不調動直升機空運選舉材料和投票站官員。選舉委員會說，延誤開門的投票站將延長投票結束時間。

肯雅塔和奧廷加這兩位總統候選人星期二在內羅畢參加投票後，都表示了對自己的信心。

反對派領袖奧廷加對聚集在投票站外的支持者說，“繼續動員大家都來投票，勝利是我們的。”

肯雅塔總統說，執政黨朱比利聯盟說打了一場“非常積極的選戰”，他相信肯尼亞人“會選擇我們繼續前行”。
