President Uhuru Kenyatta has congratulated American President-elect Donald Trump.
In a post on his official Facebook page, the president said Trump's election into the White House was a solid choice and clear voice by the people of America.
"The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly. They have chosen Donald Trump as their 45th President. Kenya congratulates Mr Trump for his victorious campaign," read part of the statement.
The president further said that Kenya and America would continue to relate well because of the 'close and strong' ties between the two countries.
"They (ties) are old, and based in the values that we hold dear: in democracy, in the rule of law, and in the equality of peoples. These values remain dear to the peoples of both nations, and so our friendship will endure," he added.
Trump's victory over his opponent and Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton was unexpected with political pundits having given Ms Clinton an edge over Trump in the three months prior to the poll.
