Global Post: United States President Barack Obama’s golden touch at the polls doesn’t seem to run in the family.

His Kenyan half brother, Malik Obama, didn’t quite come last in the polls, but he was close.

Obama, who has the same father as the US president, won only 2,792 votes while running for a gubernatorial seat in Siaya,Kenya.

That’s around 140,000 votes behind the winner.

“He was not the winner but at least he competed,” said Benson Mughatsia, returning officer for Siaya county, according to Agence France Presse. “He was not last but he was still a long way off.”

Obama accused the Kenyan Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission of concealing the official results of the race, according to Kenyan news site Daily Nation.
