It's official, Kenyans now have two Presidents Uhuru and Raila.

Yesterday at Jomo Kenyatta park, thousands of Kenyans gathered to witness the swearing in of the opposition leader Raila Odinga as the people's president of Kenya. The move which was regarded as treason by the ruling party lead by Uhuru Kenyatta saw police officers using tear gas to disperse the crowd that gathered.

But the opposition was not detered by the  threat as the people's president Raila arrived at the scene and clutching a green bible was sworn in as the the people's president defeying the order from the ruling party.

A quick check on Twitter, shows that the Twitter account of the opposition leader Raila Odinga has change to reflect his new status as the president of Kenya. His Twitter account which has over 1.6 million followers was changed to reflect his new status. Take a look.

Meanwhile, the Twitter account of the current president is still very much active and also say that it is the official account of the president of Kenya.

So Kenyan people now have two president Raila and Uhuru. What a time to be alive.... Africa my Africa.

Just a quick one, last year the supreme court of Kenya in a televised judgement, ordered for another election won by the incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta over some irregularities. The re-run was won again by Uhuru, though the opposition led by Raila boycotted the election citing a not too level playing ground. The incumbent won again and was decleared winner by the electoral commission and sworn in last November.
