Kenyatta follows father to win Kenya's top job

NAIROBI (Reuters) - The wealthy son of Kenya's independence hero and now president-elect, Uhuru Kenyatta brushed off international charges of crimes against humanity to present himself as a statesman with the economic skills to help ordinary Kenyans.

Backed by voters from Kenya's biggest tribe, the Kikuyu, in a nation where ethnic loyalties tend to trump ideology at the ballot box, the 51-year-old who is listed as Kenya's richest man won a presidential election by a tiny margin.
