Nairobi, 05 Aug-(ANA)-Preliminary results from Kenya's referendum indicate most voters have backed the new constitution, a key measure for political reform.
Results so far show about two-thirds of those who voted backed the changes, which will severely curtail the powers of the president.
However there has been a strong "No" vote in some parts of the country.
Voting appears to have passed off peacefully, with none of the violence that marred December 2007's election.
The referendum was part of a deal to bring that conflict to an end - more than 1,000 people died in the clashes.
The new constitution gives citizens a new bill of rights and paves the way for land reform.
With 67% of the ballots counted, more than four million voters were in favour of the new charter. Around 2.1 million had rejected the reforms. (ANA)
