William Ruto is the current President of Kenya, having taken office on September 13, 2022. Before becoming president, Ruto served as the Deputy President of Kenya from 2013 to 2022, under President Uhuru Kenyatta. He has a long history in Kenyan politics, having been involved in the country’s governance for many years.
Ruto is known for his “hustler” narrative, which resonates with many of Kenya’s working-class citizens. He has positioned himself as someone who came from humble beginnings and has a strong focus on empowering ordinary Kenyans, particularly the youth and small business owners. His political platform emphasizes economic empowerment, job creation, and reducing the cost of living.
His leadership style has sparked both support and criticism. Supporters view him as a champion of the underprivileged, while critics argue that his rise to power has been marked by controversies over corruption and political alliances.
