Silajdžić ahead in race for Bosnian presidency

With about 40 percent of the votes counted Silajdžić polled 38 percent of the votes against 18 percent for Tihić, the election commission said.

The presidency has a Muslim, a Serb and a Croat member and the chair rotates. It shares executive powers with the government whose head it nominates.

Bosnia's peace overseers have viewed Silajdžić and Bosnian Serb Republic Prime Minister Milorad Dodik as the main culprits for inflammatory ethnic rhetoric in the run-up to the presidential and parliamentary vote.

Deeply-divided Bosnians turned out in big numbers to elect politicians who will lead the impoverished Balkan nation after international supervision ends next year.

Bosnians voted for the state presidency and parliament as well as the president and two vice-presidents in the Serb Republic. They also cast ballots for the assemblies of the two regions and 10 federation cantons.

Others results will be known later in the day because of a complex process of counting the votes and allocating mandates for Bosnia's multi-layer government structure.
