NAIROBI, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- The Supreme Court of Kenya on Monday dismissed a petition challenging William Ruto as president-elect, paving the way for his swearing-in next week in line with the country's constitution.
A seven-judge bench unanimously agreed that Ruto met the constitutional threshold to be declared the east African nation's fifth president, putting to rest a weeks-long legal battle with his closest rival in the Aug. 9 presidential election Raila Odinga.
