Odinga supporters positive as Kenya votes tallied

Supporters of Kenya presidential candidate Raila Odinga celebrate in the street ahead of the contested presidential election results in Kisumu, Kenya.

Supporters of opposition leader Raila Odinga took to the streets of Nairobi, Saturday, to celebrate after official election results showed him leading in Kenya's presidential elections.

Security was tight at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) where officials are still tallying votes.

Azimio la Umoja (Unity Resolution) coalition, led by Raila Odinga, members met on Saturday.

Martha Karau, Raila Odinga's running mate told a press conference:"Let your minds recharge because we got more work to do. And for all of you because you are in Nairobi, we need to distribute ourselves to the various places why our strength is needed to guard our win because we have won"

To win outright, a candidate needs more than half of all votes and at least 25% of the votes in more than half of Kenya’s 47 counties.

No outright winner means a runoff election within 30 days.
