President-elect William Ruto, deputy Rigathi Gachagua to be sworn in next Tuesday

The president-elect shall take the oath of office as administered by the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary before the Chief Justice as per the law.

"The swearing-in and the inauguration ceremony is an opportunity for the nation to not only witness and usher in our nation's fifth administration but also to celebrate the strength and vibrancy of our constitutional and democratic processes which differentiates Kenya from so many other nations in Africa and beyond," said Kinyua.

Today's meeting at Harambee House was also attended by representatives of the president-elect including Davis Chirchir, Justin Muturi, Gladys Sholei, and UDA Secretary General Veronica Maina.

The Supreme Court upheld Ruto's election yesterday [Sept 5], throwing out a petition challenging his win.

According to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Ruto won the August 9 presidential election after garnering 7.18 million votes (50.49 per cent) against Raila Odinga's 6.94 million (48.85 per cent) votes.
