President William Ruto has drawn attention internationally as a climate champion and peace mediator but faces domestic discontent over rising food and fuel prices, and new taxes.
After a bitter and close election, William Ruto takes the reins of power on Tuesday. One of his team’s first moves: Limiting the access of local television outlets to the ceremony.
In his fifth, and possibly last, bid for president, Raila Odinga failed to enthuse a crucial bloc of voters in his own backyard that would have catapulted him to the top job.
Raila Odinga said the result announced on Monday, declaring his rival William Ruto as president-elect, should be annulled. The dispute looks set to go to court.
