Kenya says to complete delayed vote count on Friday


NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya said it was determined to complete the count on Friday in a tight presidential race that has put Uhuru Kenyatta ahead of his main rival Prime Minister Raila Odinga and in with a chance of outright victory.

Kenyatta, deputy prime minister and son of Kenya's founding president, has led since results started trickling in after polls closed on Monday. But he has swung above and below the more than 50 percent-mark needed to avoid a second round runoff.
