Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday was declared winner of Kenya’s presidential elections, defeating his rival Raila Odinga who is challenging the results. Mr. Kenyatta had 54.2 per cent of votes, according to final results declared by the electoral commission chair, Wafula Chebukati.
There is high security presence across Kenya ahead of the Friday's expected announcement of the winner of the Presidential elections. The leading candidates are President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga.
The opposition leader in Kenya, Raila Odinga has expressed his disappointment in claims by international election observers that the Kenyan elections were conducted in a credible way.
Kenya's main opposition coalition demanded Thursday that its candidate Raila Odinga be declared president, claiming it had evidence he had won an election that has already led to angry protests over fraud claims.
