Burkina Faso's former
Prime Minister Roch Marc Kabore appeared to have a strong lead as results came
in from Sunday's presidential election, the first election since long-serving
ruler Blaise Compaoré's forced resignation last year, Reuters news agency
reports.
Provisional
results from around 41% of the West African nation's communes showed that Mr
Kabore had 54% of the vote against 29% for Zephirin Diabre, according to the
Independent National Electoral Commission, it reports.
