"I reach out to you, I reach out to your supporters. We shall work together, we shall partner together, we shall grow together so we can build this great nation," Kenyatta said.
He commended his supporters and the general public for maintaining peace during the voting exercise.
Kenyatta extended an olive branch to opposition leaders and their supporters, saying he was ready to engage with them in dialogue to solve challenges facing the country.
He urged Kenyans to move past the electioneering period and commence nation building.
Odinga did not attend the announcement of the result, saying their concerns have not been addressed.
The opposition coalition has strongly disputed the outcome of the presidential results, saying they do not represent the true verdict of Kenyans.
NASA chief agent Musalia Mudavadi said IEBC told them their concerns will be addressed after the declaration is made. "Basically (the meeting with IEBC) was a PR exercise," Mudavadi told journalists in Nairobi.
He spoke after the NASA coalition walked out of the meeting with IEBC commissioners where the commission made its stand to announce the winner.
"This commission has shown that it is an arm of the executive. It looks like the president (and) the deputy president knew all along what the commission was going to do," coalition agent James Orengo said.
He accused international observers of pressuring and encouraging the IEBC to announce the winner regardless of NASA's concerns about the accuracy of the election results.
