The result came days after a cliffhanger vote. Ruto gained 50.5 percent of the vote, narrowly defeating Raila Odinga, a former prime minister, said a top official.

But trouble was already afoot. Britain had haphazardly left the subcontinent after nearly three centuries of colonial rule and had divided the land into Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan. The bloody partition caused one of the biggest migrations in history, as once-mixed communities rushed in opposite directions to new homelands. As many as 20 million people fled communal violence. Up to two million people were killed. Now, 75 years later, nationalist fervor and mutual suspicion have [hardened into rigid divisions](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRk3TtmP4QLAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjIvMDgvMTQvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9icml0aXNoLWluZGlhLXBhcnRpdGlvbi1oaW5kdS1tdXNsaW0uaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD03JmVtYz1lZGl0X21iYWVfMjAyMjA4MTYmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NjkzODYmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1hc2lhLXBhY2lmaWMtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTAxNDYxJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpi6ma2-mKnyNf9Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).
