Deputy President William Ruto has expressed confidence in winning the presidential election, moments after he cast his vote in his home town in the Rift Valley region.
“I look forward to a victorious day,” he told journalists.
“I’m very confident that the people of Kenya will make choices that will take our country to the future… it’s upon all of us to respect the choices of the people.”
Mr Ruto, 55, is making his first attempt at the presidency after being a deputy president for 10 years.
His main challenger, Raila Odinga – a long-serving opposition leader – is running for president for a fifth time.
