Millions of Kenyans poured into polling stations on Monday to cast their ballots in a important anxiously awaited presidential election and as the voting proceeded relatively smoothly a real chance emerged that a candidate charged with crimes against humanity could win the race.With about a quarter of the votes counted Uhuru Kenyatta the scion of a political family who has been accused by the International Criminal Court of financing death squads held a commanding lead of 55 percent to 41 percent over the second place candidate Raila Odinga Kenyas prime minister.Election observers cautioned that the preliminary results might not be representative of the countrywide vote but Mr. Kenyattas lead remained strong from the moment the first allies came in.Voter turnout on Monday was tremendous election officials said starting hours before dawn with lines of voters stretching nearly a mile long.
