Kenya’s Deputy President William Ruto has secured a narrow victory over opposition leader Raila Odinga.
Deputy President William Ruto has been declared the winner of Kenya’s presidential election in a narrow victory over opposition leader Raila Odinga.
Four election commissioners cast doubt on the results, and Odinga has disputed them, alleging irregularities.
This was Odinga’s fifth run for president and he received the endorsement of his longtime rival, President Uhuru Kenyatta. But results show Ruto won in Mount Kenya, Kenyatta’s stronghold.
Will the new president be able to deal with the country’s many problems?
