Supporters of President-elect William Ruto and his rival Raila Odinga are either lost in ecstasy celebrating their hero's victory, or thrown for a loop and struggling to come to terms with their idol's defeat.
But beyond Kenya, countries are split on what to do over the electoral body's decision that awarded Ruto the presidency. Will they throw their weight behind Ruto or sympathise with Raila who has rejected the outcome?
What is at stake is the future and governance systems of the countries in the region - from the semi-arid Eritrea on the Red Sea to the lush, landlocked Rwanda. Whoever emerges the winner in the upcoming Supreme Court ruling is likely to help create a new reality or keep the status quo of the East Africa region.
