"I accept the people's choice and I do now concede that Mwai Kibaki would be the third president of the republic of Kenya," Uhuru told a press conference in Nairobi.
"I thank President (Daniel arap) Moi for ensuring a peaceful transition and this gives hope to the whole African continent that we can nurture and ensure that democracy takes root in our continent,"
"The biggest challenge facing the new government would be to keep up with the expectations Kenyans have of them," said Uhuru, who was flanked by several KANU officials.
He said he was ready to lead KANU as the official opposition party in parliament and to restructure it for the next polls due in 2007.
The first to concede defeat was Ford People presidential candidate Simeon Nyachae as well as his Social Democratic Party counterpart James Orengo who have come third and fourth in the polls, respectively.
Narc has scored a landslide victory thanks to a 15-party opposition coalition, including bigwigs who crossed from the ruling KANU after Moi unilaterally nominated Uhuru Kenyatta as its flag-bearer in the crucial poll.
