Nigerian artiste Davido is among celebrities across the globe who are sending in congratulatory messages to president-elect William Ruto.
Today, the Supreme Court of Kenya upheld William Ruto's win as the fifth President of the Republic of Kenya.
Delivering the verdict, Chief Justice Martha Koome said Ruto garnered 50 percent plus one vote cast.
Ruto had garnered 7.1m while Raila Odinga garnered 6.9m as declared by the IEBC.
The confirmation followed an intense 14-day process in which lawyers representing Azimio's Raila Odinga, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, and President-elect William Ruto did battle.
Davido congratulated the President-elect and the people of Kenya.
"Congratulations to Dr William Ruto, on being declared 5th president of the republic of Kenya. Also, congratulations to the people of Kenya. Democracy wins again." the singer wrote.
