President Kibaki losing Kenya vote

---

NAIROBI, Dec 28 (Agencies): Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki trailed his main rival Friday in the race to lead east Africa's biggest economy for the next five years, according to early tallies by local media.
Partial results from three main television stations all gave opposition challenger Raila Odinga-the son of a nationalist hero-a strong lead over his former ally, although a separate exit poll put Kibaki ahead in what many had forecast would be Kenya's closest ever election.
Were Odinga to win, this would make Kibaki the first of Kenya's three sitting presidents to be ousted by the ballot box in the 44 years since the end of British colonial rule.
The unofficial results by the TV channels were compiled from tallies at counting centers. The latest, from KTN at 12.15 p.m. (0915 GMT), gave Odinga 1,862,573 votes to 1,179,271 for Kibaki representing about a third of ballots believed cast.
