The election commission announced that he narrowly won by 50.03% of the vote.
According to reports; Kenyatta's victory could affect Kenya's relations with the West, as he faces charges at the International Criminal Court for his alleged role in directing some of the 2007 post-election violence. His running mate, William Ruto, faces similar charges. The US has warned of "consequences" if Kenyatta, the son of Kenya's founding father, wins, as have several European countries. Britain, which ruled Kenya up until the early 1960s, has said they would have only essential contact with the Kenyan government if Kenyatta is president.
It is also predicted thay Kenyatta's win is likely to bring controversy in Kenya and an almost certain legal challenge from prime minister Raila Odinga whose supporters protested after the 2007 election when he claimed he was cheated.
MSN reports:
In Kibera, Nairobi's largest slum and a bastion of Odinga support, many believe this year's results have been rigged as well, with the results showing him at 43.3%.
Mr Kenyatta needed to break the 50% barrier to avoid a run-off with Mr Odinga, but he did so by only 4,099 votes out of more than 12.3 million cast.
Monday's presidential vote was the first since the 2007 election sparked two months of tribal violence after a disputed election win was claimed by president Mwai Kibaki. More than 1,000 people were killed in attacks that included machetes, bows and arrows and police firearms.
Mr Odinga's camp has indicated legal challenges could be filed. Monday's presidential vote proceeded mostly peacefully, but the counting process has been marred by a series of break-downs and errors.
In order to win outright, Mr Kenyatta must not only get more than 50% of the vote but also at least 25% of the vote in 24 out of Kenya's 47 provinces. Because of the way the election commission announced results, it was difficult to immediately determine if Mr Kenyatta achieved that target.
Mr Kenyatta's ICC trial is set to begin in July and could take years, meaning that if he wins he may have to rule Kenya from The Hague for much of his five-year term. Another option is, as president, to decide not to attend the trial, but that would trigger an international arrest warrant and spark even more damaging effects for Kenya's standing with the West. Mr Kenyatta has promised to report to The Hague, even if he wins the presidency. The ICC yesterday delayed the trial of Mr Ruto until late May.
ROSY 2013 FOR ROSSONERI
This was a team that almost sacked its gaffer for poor results but since New Year's day, AC Milan have not lost a game in the Serie A. the club bought Mario Balotelli who has added more value to the team. In this massive three pointer against Lazio, Milan had it at the back of their minds that a win will propel them to third on the log and their mission was helped by Candreva who got sent off early in the first period and Milan took over, the Barca win confidence still evident in the team and they put Lazio to the sword in grand style, Balotelli didn't play which ensured Pazzini took the limelight with a brace. The Rossoneri are third right now and with Napoli playing back to back draws, Milan will have the right to believe that they can give second place a shot.
Juve and Napoli cancelled each other out in a feisty clash but the sour point in the game was the Edinson Cavani elbow on Giorgio Chiellini but the spirit of the game won as both players showed sportsmanship after the game.
Roma won last night at the Olimpico but the highpoint was Francesco Totti's 225th Serie A goal, making him the second all-time scorer in the SerieA , Antonio Di Natale also netted his 150th goal for Udinese in their win over Pescara.
AND THE DOMINANCE IS OFFICIALLY OVER
Inconsequential as the tie might be, but this game was important for the Special One, this was the game that was going to break the shackles of the Barca domination over Real Madrid. Second string line up it seemed like but the same spirit was still instilled in the team, Benzema struck first but Barca replied and from then on it was all Barcelona, but we knew we had seen all of these before and came on Ronaldo who gingered the team up and Real got the winner through Sergio Ramos a player whose relationship with Mourinho has been questioned. Messi once again looked disinterested and Iniesta anonymous, Jordi Roura should try to give Messi some rest because he needs it. In the last 7 clasicos, Mourinho has won four and lost just two, this shows one thing, Mou has found the formula his nemesis. But they need to stop basking in the euphoria of this win and focus on the battle at Old Trafford as they continue the search for La Decima.
