Kenyans on social media are beyond elated especially after Kenya won the much coveted seat at the UN Nations Security Council.
Under the hashtag #WorldSupportsUhuru, netizens celebrated the well deserved win.
Kenya garnered 129 votes against Djibouti’s 62 in the voting that saw almost all member states vote. The contest between Kenya and Djibouti headed to the second round of voting Thursday after the first phase saw Nairobi’s victory insufficient to win the UN Security Council seat.
In a show of mature diplomacy President Uhuru Kenyatta thanked Kenya’s competitor in the election, the Republic of Djibouti for being a worthwhile opponent and the African Union for the endorsement as the continent’s flag bearer in the contest.
Ecstatic Kenyans couldn’t believe how Kenya has become under the able leadership of President Uhuru Kenyatta. They showered him with praises for dreaming big for the country and remaining focused towards achieving the greatness for the country.
Check out the reactions from Kenyans on twitter;
Kenya’s election to the seat of UN Security Council is a great boost to our status on the African continent. We shall hold the seat in trust for the AU, with great say & influence on global peace and security issues which are largely African. Bravo!

Kenya’s winning the UNSC seat means that Kenya will join nine other non-permanent members and could get a chance to preside over the Council’s sittings, an influential opportunity to influence agenda. #WorldSupportsUhuru pic.twitter.com/jzCxGH37aU

God willing, 50 years from now, I’ll be telling my grandchildren how privileged I was to have a president like Uhuru Kenyatta. An incorruptible, dedicated, effective, resilient, visionary, transformative and down to earth individual. He’s a blessing to Kenya.#WorldSupportsUhuru pic.twitter.com/V3iZ2wOsWa
