NAIROBI, (Reuters) - Kenya opposition challenger Raila Odinga's lead sharply narrowed over President Mwai Kibaki to just 38,000 votes on Saturday, latest official election figures showed.
The Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) gave Odinga 3.88 million votes to Kibaki's 3.84 million with 86 percent of votes tallied. But as the race went down to the wire, the ECK head was interrupted reading other constituency results that would have put Kibaki in the lead.
