Kenyan Votes Still Being Counted

Voting may have taken place on Monday, but Kenyans still do not know who won the election.

Election officials are still counting the votes, and it looks like a close total.

Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta is currently leading, but he does not appear to have the numbers required.

Kenyan law requires that a candidate gain more than fifty percent of the votes, in order to win.

If Kenyatta does not gain the fifty percent, he will face a runoff election against Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who has the second most votes.

The runoff election would take place in April.
