William Ruto, the former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga has won the race to be the fifth president of the East African nation, on his fifth attempt.
According to results announced by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on Monday, August 15, Deputy President William Ruto won Kenya’s presidential vote, the election commission and is now the new leader of the region’s richest and most stable nation.
He narrowly beat his rival, Raila Odinga, taking 50.4% of the vote.
The announcement was delayed amid allegations of vote-rigging by Odinga’s campaign.
