Vote counting is continuing in Kenya, with early unofficial results showing both the incumbent president Daniel Arap Moi and the leader of the Democratic Party, Mwai Kibaki, doing well. But there could still be some delay before final results are announced. Confusion still surrounds the election, which was marred by chaotic scenes at polling stations. Opposition leaders say they believe they will win, despite the flaws in the poll. Cathy Jenkins reports:

The continuing confusion has suddenly given a deeply divided opposition common cause. In Nairobi three of the main opposition leaders predicted victory over the ruling party Kanu, despite the flaws in the poll.

They said they would form a government of national unity once in power, but they would not include Kanu because they said it was a corrupt and immoral regime. Despite condemning the chaos at the polling booths, none of the leading opposition figures has called for the election to be annulled.

Like President Moi, they appear to be keeping their options open, clearly hoping that the final outcome of the count will be in their favour. Unofficial results from the counting halls continue to trickle in.

Results announced from about half of the country's 210 constituencies show both President Moi and the leader of the Democratic Party, Mwai Kibaki, doing well in the presidential race. But it is still too early to predict a final outcome.

There have been appeals from many quarters for people to stay calm to allow the counting to finish. So far it has been calm, but there is tension.
