The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on Monday, August 15, 2022, announced Dr William Ruto as the president-elect.
This is after he garnered 7,176,141 votes which represent 50.49 per cent of all the valid votes cast. His main competitor Raila Odinga finished second with 48.85% (6,942,930 votes).
The president-elect had over 25 per cent of votes cast in his favour in 39 of the 47 counties while the former Prime Minister had 34 counties that gave him at least 25 per cent of the votes.
But while Odinga has disputed the results and even threatened to move to court, we take a look at how the two leading candidates performed in each of the 47 counties.
