Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta sworn in for a second and final five-year term.

Around 13 mostly African heads of state attended aomong them Uganda's Yoweri Museveni. 

The ceremony was held at Nairobi stadium. Uhuru, 56, will be serving his second and final five-year term.

His inauguration comes after Kenya's Supreme Court validated his victory in last month's rerun poll. However, the swearing-in may not draw a line under the country's political crisis with Odinga vowing to fight on.

The electoral strife goes back to an August 8 poll that was annulled in September by the Supreme Court, citing "irregularities and illegalities".

The court ordered a rerun in October that was boycotted by the opposition, handing Kenyatta a landslide of 98 percent of votes cast from just 39 percent of the electorate.
