John Dimo used shells, bones and other items outside his tent in Kogelo, western Kenya, to call a winner in the race between Mr Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney. And Mr Dimo, who claims to be 105, says that the mystical items dispute news that the election will be a close call.
Pointing to a white shell, he declared: 'Obama is very far ahead and is definitely going to win.' Kogelo is Mr Obama's late father's home town and expectations of another victory for him are high.
Most Kenyans consider Mr Obama, the son of a white mother from Kansas and a black father from Kenya, as one of their own. He has five Kenyan half-brothers and a half-sister. Dimo, about 115-years-old, says he knew Mr Obama's father, who was buried in the village in 1982.
