After six tense days of Kenyans waiting for the outcome, Kenya's Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has declared William Ruto, the self-declared “hustler” and outgoing deputy president, the winner of the presidential election this evening.
According to the IEBC this Monday evening, William Ruto took 50.5 percent of the vote – some 7.1 million valid ballots – with his main rival Raila Odinga taking 48.9 percent.
