The results are based on 54.3% of processed polling stations.
CIK earlier announced that the turnout was 50%.
Becirovic said it is time for a positive turn in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
"Any destabilization in the region would return us to the Middle Ages. We have no right to do that...Let's unite around the future and around life's issues. That's what all people and nations in Bosnia and Herzegovina need," he said.
According to the preliminary results, Becirovic, the joint candidate of 11 parties, has a convincing advantage over the president of the Democratic Action Party (SDA), Bakir Izetbegovic, and the president of the Platform for Progress Movement, Mirsad Hadzikadic.
