STORYLINE
Barack Obama's Kenyan family erupted in cheers on Wednesday, as Obama became the first African-American elected president of the United States.
In the western village of Kogelo, where the Democratic candidate's late father was born, police had tightened security to prevent hordes of media and others from entering the rural homestead of Obama's step-grandmother, Sarah.
But the elderly woman and several other relatives came outside on Wednesday to cheer for Obama in a country where the Democrat is seen as a "son of the soil."
Across Africa - where Obama is wildly popular - people stayed up all night or woke before dawn on Wednesday to watch the US election results roll in.
