One of Kenya's closest elections in decades saw Deputy President William Ruto battling Raila Odinga, as the country is facing spiraling cost of living and growing inequality.
Odinga, a veteran opposition leader who ran with the backing of President Uhuru Kenyatta and the ruling party, has rejected the outcome of the poll, branding it a "travesty." He narrowly lost to Ruto by around 230,000 votes -- less than two percentage points.
