Ruto to be sworn in as Kenya’s president after divisive poll
By AFP
William Ruto will be sworn in as Kenya’s president on today after narrowly winning the coveted job in a bitterly fought but largely peaceful election.
About 20 heads of state and thousands of spectators are expected to attend his inauguration at a Nairobi stadium.
A notoriously ambitious politician who has been deputy president since 2013, Ruto beat his rival Raila Odinga — who had been backed by outgoing president Uhuru Kenyatta — by less than two percentage points.
