United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has commended Kenyans for observing peace during the elections.
He commended the electoral commission and Kenyan authorities for ensuring that voters were able to exercise freely their right to vote.
He has urged politicians and voters to be calm and restrained as they wait for results.
The polls body is yet to provide the final turnout figures but the initial estimates suggest a decline from the 2017 election - when 80% of the registered 19 million voters turned out to vote.
