*With most votes counted, Ruto on about per cent
*Electoral Commission seen announcing winner soon
NAIROBI, Aug 15
Kenya’s Deputy President William Ruto led a tight presidential race against opposition leader Raila Odinga, official results reported by media showed on Monday, as an announcement from electoral authorities on the winner appeared imminent.
Slow progress by the electoral commission in tallying Tuesday’s vote have fed anxiety in East Africa’s wealthiest country.
With media on Monday reporting more than three quarters of votes counted, only 2 desks on a tallying floor that has been a hive of activity since the verification process started were occupied by electoral commission staff and party agents, out of more than 12 before.
