Kenya's Supreme Court on Monday upheld Deputy President William Ruto's win in the presidential election, rejecting challenges to the official outcome of the vote.
Ruto, who is set to be sworn in on September 13, has praised the judiciary and the electoral commission for upholding the "will of the people."
"We are not enemies, we are Kenyans. Let us unite to make Kenya a nation of which everyone shall be proud to call home," the president-elect said.
