African heads of state arrived at Kenya's Kasarani stadium in capital Nairobi on Tuesday to witness the inauguration of the country's fourth president, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta.

Among the leaders present were South Africa's Jacob Zuma, Nigeria's Goodluck Jonathan, Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Rwanda's Paul Kagame.

Officials said there were more than a dozen presidents, several deputy presidents and prime ministers and scores of diplomats from across the continent.

Some of the loudest cheers ahead of the ceremony were reserved for retired Kenyan president Daniel Arap Moi.
