Kenyan government, opposition parties tieing - TV
Latest results in Kenya's parliamentary elections show the ruling KANU [Kenya African National Union] party and opposition parties level at 97 seats each, Kenyan KTN TV reported on Friday.
It said that with 194 of the 224 seats declared, the breakdown of the parties is:
Kenyan Foreign Minister Kalonzo Musyoka is one of two cabinet ministers who have retained their parliamentary seats following the elections earlier this week, the TV added.
Musyoka polled 24,509 votes in his Mwingi North seat in Eastern Province, nearly 15,000 more than his closest rival. Lands and Settlement Minister Noah Katana Ngala also won in his seat in Coast Province.
Meanwhile, KANU has said it will accept the outcome of the polls. "Now that the will of the people has been expressed through the ballot, all those concerned should accept the verdict of the people. Kenyans should reject and condemn all efforts and attempts aimed at undermining the constitutional order and the peace and stability of the country," Vice President George Saitoti said in remarks broadcast on the television. BBC Monitoring (http://www.monitor.bbc.co.uk), based in Caversham in southern England, selects and translates information from radio, television, press, news agencies and the Internet from 150 countries in more than 70 languages.
The television did not account for one of the seats it said had been declared.
