Nairobi - Kenya's opposition challenger Raila Odinga is ahead in the presidential election with 3.73 million votes or 49%, the Electoral Commission of Kenya says on a tally of three-quarters of constituencies.

President Mwai Kibaki had 45% or 3.42 million votes. The results across Kenya's eight provinces were going broadly in line with the forecasts of political analysts.

Odinga had a massive majority in his Nyanza tribal homeland, was winning in the capital Nairobi, and also had the lead in three other provinces including the crucial, densely populated Rift Valley seen as a possible election decider.

Kibaki had overwhelming support in his Central Province, and was also ahead in two others.
