Nairobi, Dec 29: Opposition leader Mwai Kibaki was today declared elected president of Kenya, electoral commission member Obuya Obuya said. "According to provisional results Mwai Kibaki has won the presidential elections," said Obuya.
Kibaki, 71, was the presidential candidate for the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC), which groups more than a dozen opposition parties.

Presidential, parliamentary and local council elections were held on Friday.
"According to provisional results Kibaki is far ahead of Uhuru Kenyatta because we have already counted more than half of the results from the 210 constituencies and the remaining areas can not much change the outcome of the results," Obuya added.

Kenyatta, 42, was the presidential hopeful for the Kenya African National Union (Kanu), which has been in power since Kenya's independence from Britain in 1963. Bureau Report
