The Supreme Court of Kenya has made its determination on the petition against the declaration of William Ruto as president-elect. Having looked at all the issues presented before it, the judges unanimously made a decision to uphold the victory of William Ruto.
In an hour-long ruling, Kenyans were glued to their devices, as Chief Justice Martha Koome read the brief version of the judgment. Online, netizens made memes, tweets, and reactions to the final moments of a long political season. Here are some of the best and the funniest reactions that we have spotted on the timeline.
First things first, Najib Balala has to secure a job. We all know that was in the drafts, wasn’t it?
Congratulations to the Supreme Court and to Kenyans; On Election Day, Kenyans demonstrated their democratic will on the ballot and after the presidential results announcement, they decided to resolve the disputes raised in a peaceful, litigious manner – guided by our constitution pic.twitter.com/I0Qsfqeoat

The court has spoken. I respect but disagree with the findings .

Ooh, also, Soea hiyo sauti has this to say:
During COTU (K) Executive Board meeting on 17th August, we resolved THAT immediately after the Supreme Court judgement, we must thank and congratulate the victor. Consequently, we congratulate President William Ruto. We appeal to workers and Kenyans in general to remain peaceful.

Anyway, not forgetting who the real winner of this election is:
The real heroes of this election was us, the citizens, who voted peacefully and went on to watch the proceedings from the comfort of our homes.
