A tabulation of the results of the August 9 presidential elections shows how important Mt Kenya region was to William Ruto's win.

The UDA presidential candidate polled 3.5 million votes in the region, almost double the 1.9 million he got in his Rift Valley backyard.

Dr Ruto received 7,176,141 (50.49 per cent) of the votes, narrowly beating his rival, Raila Odinga, who managed 6,942,930 votes (48.85 per cent).
