Up to 40 countries have sent congratulatory messages to president-elect Uhuru Kenyatta on his reelection, State House has said.

Speaking on Tuesday afternoon, State House spokesman Manoah Esipisu said the 40 countries sent their messages after the Supreme Court upheld Uhuru's win on Monday.

"More than 40 countries have congratulated the Head of State on his win," Esipisu told journalists.

The apex court dismissed two petitions which had been filed to challenge Kenyatta's win.

Esipisu said the messages were sent through the Ministry of Foreign affairs.
