PHOTOS: Scenes in Nairobi and Nyanza as Raila is 'sworn in' as people's president

At a packed Uhuru Park, National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga was ‘sworn in’ as the People’s President.

The oath was administered by lawyer TJ Kajwang, who is also the Ruaraka Member of Parliament.

In an attempt to give the much-hyped ceremony a media blackout, the state switched off radio and TV stations which were broadcasting the event live.

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetang’ula however, skipped the event and have told the media that they have scheduled a meeting in two days.

As Raila took oath of office as ‘People’s President’, NASA supporters in Nairobi and Kisumu county burst into celebrations. Here are some of the scenes in the two counties after Raila was ‘sworn in’.
