STORYLINE:
Veteran politician Mwai Kibaki and his opposition alliance won a landslide victory in Kenyan elections on Sunday, breaking the ruling party's 39-year grip on power, independent monitors and the Electoral Commission said.
With all but 18 of 210 constituencies reporting, the 71-year-old economist, who is leader of the National Rainbow Coalition, had 63 percent of the votes, the Institute for Education in Democracy said.
Uhuru Kenyatta, the hand-picked candidate of the Kenya African National Union, or KANU, the party that has ruled this East African nation since independence from Britain in 1963, conceded defeat after receiving 30 percent of the votes.
The government-appointed Electoral Commission later officially declared Kibaki the winner though it did not release final results.

I shed tears on this date. We saw freedom returning to Kenya after 24 hours of hardship. Though Moi deserves credit for keeping Kenya at peace at approximately 75% of time. Also Moi handed the power very peacefully. He did better than some neighboring countries who are still at war even today. But Kibaki did very good - the climate in our country was quite relaxing. May our Baba Kibaki continue to rest in peace.

I saw Mama Ida Odinga so happy in this video, Had she known that Kibaki would steal victory from her husband five years later she would not be so jovial like that,

[@mundugichini7886]

Mwai kibaki won 2002 and 2007, never joke with GEMA vote block

[@duncanchizizi6543]

@@mundugichini7886 mwai kibaki had no enough vote block to beat raila's pentagon alliance. He manipulated votes to claim victory. He Lost that vote. Had it been that there was recount am sure alot of black stains would be identified

Later that afternoon I run into raila at high court rushing to file for a lawsuit that they stole the elections. I reminded him he and kibaki were in the same team of rainbow coalition therefore kibaki's win is his win as well. 'Kibaki tosha' He laughed and said oh, nilisahau asante sana kukumbusha miimi, au sivyo?
