History is made as IEBC declares Kenyatta’s son President-elect

Daily Nation - Mr Ruto, like Mr Kenyatta, has been indicted by the International Criminal Court and their election puts the nation into uncharted waters. The pair is the first to be democratically elected into office anywhere in the world while under the shadow of an indictment from the ICC. This fact and the violent outcome of the last General Election meant that this was one of the most closely watched polls in Sub-Saharan Africa since the post-Apartheid 1994 elections in South Africa. The March 4, 2013 General Election was historic at many levels.
