The election was a success because Kenyans wanted and worked for it to succeed.
The impact of the ICC in Kenya will be a matter of considerable speculation well into the foreseeable future.
Kenya’s Supreme Court has maintained that Ruto emerged victorious at last month’s presidential election, dismissing Odinga’s allegations
Opposition leader Raila Odinga, seeking the presidency for the fifth time, is contesting the result that declared Deputy President William Ruto the winner.
One of the ironies of politics is how easily fiction becomes reality.
In 2017, the Supreme Court overturned the election result and ordered a rerun, which Mr Odinga boycotted, saying he had no faith in the election commission.
Mr Ruto’s victory sparked violent protests in some parts of the country Monday, with demonstrators alleging there were irregularities during the tallying of the votes.
The president said he looked forward to more fruitful and robust engagements between the two countries with Mr Ruto.
Mr Ruto’s policies include giving Kenyans subsidised health insurance cover and a fee waiver for poor households.
Deputy President William Ruto and veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga were neck and neck with 1.2 million votes each.
