In their unanimous decision, the Supreme Court of Kenya Unanimously dismissed petitions challenging Ruto's victory.
The seven-judge bench ruled that the outgoing Deputy President was validly elected as president and the elections conducted by the IEBC were in conformity with the law.
Reading the verdict on Monday, Chief Justice Martha Koome said Ruto garnered 50 percent plus one vote cast.
In the August 9 presidential results, Ruto polled 7,176,141 (50.49 per cent) to secure the 50 per cent plus one required to win the presidency in the first round.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission chairperson Wafula Chebukati said the Supreme Court verdict on the presidential petition had vindicated the commission.
