Kenya's president has announced a new power-sharing cabinet following a deal with the opposition to end the long-running political crisis.
President Mwai Kibaki named opposition leader Raila Odinga as the new prime minister.
The pair had agreed the deal on Saturday in secret talks.
The crisis was sparked by presidential elections in December that triggered violence in which 1,500 people died.
The deal overcame a row over how the cabinet posts would be divided.
Mr Kibaki said in a live televised speech alongside Mr Odinga: "I am today announcing the Kenya opposition urges restraint ...
Odinga snubs Kibaki over meeting ...
Kenyan leaders agree on cabinet ...
Kenyan MPs to usher in new era ...
Deal in Kenya to be implemented ...
Kenya mediation talks to resume ... cabinet of the grand coalition government."
The cabinet will work on framing a new constitution over the next year that will tackle long-standing grievances over land, wealth and power.
In addition to those who died in the post-poll violence, another 600,000 were displaced in January and February.
Many thousands have yet to return to their homes.
