Polls have just closed in what's been described as tightly contested elections in Kenya.
Presidential front runners former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Deputy President William Ruto - who cast their votes earlier - said they were confident the vote would take place without any hitches. President Uhuru Kenyatta, who is stepping down at the end of his two terms in the office called for a peaceful vote.
