As the United States presidential election looms, it's not just polls in the US that are putting Democratic candidate Barack Obama in the lead.

A witch doctor in Kogelo, western Kenya, where Obama's father grew up, on Saturday also predicted victory for the Democrat.

John Radima, who lives not far from the home of Obama's grandmother in Kogelo, threw stones, bones and shells on the ground and "read" them.

The message was that Obama will be the winner in the November 4 election.

Meanwhile, the press began to set up camp outside Obama's grandmother's home ahead of Tuesday's historic US election.

Obama has become quite a celebrity in Kenya, where a popular song and a musical have been released in his honour.

A Moment Of Truth For Kenya And Africa
by Peter E Adotey Addo
.

The violence that rocked the world
Reached horrific levels resulting everywhere
With loss of children, women, and men for days
Burned in a church as they were seeking sanctuary
And sanctuary was denied
In flames by mobs infuriated by votes.
The innocent victims faced their rage
Seeking help from locked doors and homes ending
As charred bodies and trash in the once silent streets
No water from kinfolks and no food from neighbors
With nothing gained to be sure.
Only we can save ourselves from this rage

Dedicated to those who lost their lives in the post Election Riots, Jan .2008
