William Ruto sworn-in as Kenyan president

About 60,000 people packed a stadium in Kenya’s capital to witness William Ruto’s inauguration as president following his election win last month.

At least eight people are reported to have been injured in a crush as they jostled to enter the stadium in Nairobi.

Defeated candidate Raila Odinga said he would not be present as he had “serious concerns” about his opponent’s victory.

Mr Ruto won the election with 50.% of the vote, to Mr Odinga’s 48.%.

Mr Odinga has alleged that the result was rigged, but the Supreme Court has ruled the election was free and fair.
