Former US-based presidential contender on an independent ticket, Japheth Kavinga Kaluyu has become the first presidential candidate to concede defeat.
The academician, who lived in the US for years before returning to Kenya, thanked those who supported and voted for him in Tuesday's election.
"We are telling Kenyans- the ones we fought for, that they can now dream big," he said.
"We thank IEBC for conducting a peaceful process. It is very peaceful outside, I thank the Interior Ministry... Kenyans are ready to listen to real issues. We definitely were not the last."
He added: "For first timers to get over 10,000 votes, I think that is very commendable. We have drawn first blood and conceded our race to the person who is going to win."
Preliminary results show president Uhuru Kenyatta leading with about 7.9 million votes followed by Nasa candidate Raila Odinga with about 6.5 million votes. Kaluyu has slightly above 11,000 votes.

One calls "Ludicrous and Nonsensical" that which they don't understand because they only "👀 see" but don't "perceive" as Tupac once said "The blind stares of a million pairs of eyes looking but they can't see me!"
This photo has a certain pose. Look at the way he has his hands, do you think that's a "STUPIDICAL" expression?
Second, This is a message to "your horse" in the race,(Raila)- Concede and move on. It's what people call propaganda(not proper "oganda")or in other words "public relations". The sign languages of the few they use symbols and images. You just got educated.
KiMzee. Let me be KISS (Keep It Short and Simple) and BREASTFEED you because you are Clearly Short Sighted for Grasp of Headlines: THE MWAKILISHI Headline (about this guy's Concession) is THE WAY Nation Media SHOULD HAVE REPORTED (instead of HIDING HIS NAME from the Headline Tittle). And this was a DELIBERATE Veiling Attempt by NationMedia (to Cause Scramble, Alarm for Nought and CHAOS amongst MAJORITY of Kenyan People who INSTANTLY thought it was RAO Conceding. A Recipe for Another 2007 Post Election Violence!!! I am NOT talking about the Guy and His Pose in the Photo. See! You're the other one wasting Time and Space on Mwakilishi. Anyway: Just know that Analytic People like Me are 100% Smarter than You; and don't you forget that. They see Far in and out. And agsin FYI: MWAKILISHI's Headline is Precise and Far More SUPERIOR to NationMedia's (about the CONCESSION). Got it (the milk)?
Now that you know this guy, you will see him run for Senator or MP in next election. This is a smart move. Guest1 sees things from one dimension. This guy was not going to win and he knows that but he got a lot of free publicity to prepare him for next elections - not for president though.
Total waste of time conceding defeat. Like you even stood a chance.Why are some people so full of themselves. If you do not want to campaign which in Kenya involves meet greet and donate do not think you can win.How many people will remember you in 5 years .Start a blog or write a book about your experience you may succeed
@Mtalii, Umedinya Point! At least you aren't single dimensional like Guest1 who reads sees and is unable to translate,comprehend and interpret."A picture is worth a thousand words". He made his statement in the picture not the words.
Thank you very much for conceding defeat.Thats what men with working balls do.U tried yr lack mr kavinya leave alone many who r commenting badly here about u n they cannot even win cattle dip elections where they live.Kogratulation n we ask the poverty stricken character to do so juu whether he do or not the writings r on the wall who will carry the day!!!Majority of Kenyans we have spoken n we have chosen the leaders we want them to lead us!!Please ask for yr money from yr South Africa witches who keeps lying to u u will win all the time.Even if it was repeated we will still refuse you.Iebc invested billions which was unnecessary coz of yr power greed but still yapping.
mkenya halisi u just spoke like 15 elders drinking chang'aa somewhere in the woods! most important point you said " majority of Kenyans have spoken" period......raila- 2007 blood is on your hands, you will never taste Kenyan presidency ever...man up and retire peacefully!. We say NO to your greed. Using poor mathare folks who you never helped all those years in power to throw stones and damage the little they have!!!! I hope our polisi/wana jeshi wako chonjo kuwanyorosha wenye fujo!! I hate going to work and all my coworkers are like did you see the news about your country elections? tensions are high:(
Aaah johnson uneongea kama Martin Luther king but bro imagine at 37 yrs I have never tasted any alcohol or smoked.My liver bado safi kama ya mtoi who have bin born.I take traditional miti ni dawa which is best n will recommend to you.In my 31/2 acres hapa Tigoni limuru I have over 15 different medicinal trees which our great grandfathers used.Soon I will b packing n selling its leaves,waiting for licences and I have one which I will give baba rao to b taking for his retirement akae many years so he can witness Kenya prospering.
It was so Ludicrous, Nonsensical, and Infantile for NationMedia to Splash this Guys Conceding (in It's Front Page Headline). It was so STUPIDICAL (for lack of Better Expression) and Waste of So Much Space.
