Uhuru Kenyatta to be sworn in as Kenyan president
Uhuru Kenyatta is set to be sworn in as Kenya's new president, following his victory in March against Raila Odinga.
His first-round victory was recently upheld by the Supreme Court. Mr Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto, face charges at the International Criminal Court relating to post-election violence five years ago.
Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, who faces an ICC arrest warrant over the conflict in Darfur, will not be in Nairobi for the inauguration.
Mr Kenyatta is the son of Kenya's founding father, Uhuru Kenyatta, and is heir to one of the largest fortunes in Kenya.
He served as deputy prime minister, minister for trade, and finance minister under outgoing President Mwai Kibaki.
The 51-year-old will be Kenya's youngest president.
