OUAGADOUGOU (Reuters) - Incumbent Burkina Faso President Roch Kabore was leading with just three voting districts declared on Monday, the electoral commission said, a day after voting dominated by the threat of Islamist violence.

Hundreds of thousands of citizens were unable to vote on Sunday because their polling stations remained closed for fear of attack.
