Uhuru Kenyatta sworn in as Kenya’s fourth Presiden. Uhuru won with 50.07% of the vote, but the win was challenged by outgoing PM Raila Odinga and civil society groups, who complained of myriad anomalies in the voting process, but the Supreme Court upheld Kenyatta’s win.
Uhuru Kenyatta along with his deputy William Ruto are controversial figures as they are facing charges by the International Criminal Court (ICC) over crimes against humanity for their alleged role in Kenya’s 2007 presidential elections.
