5th President of Republic of Kenya
William Samoei Arap Ruto is the 5th President of the Republic of Kenya, elected in 2022. Born in 1966 in Uasin Gishu County, Ruto famously rose from a humble “hustler” background, selling chickens to support his education, eventually earning a PhD in Plant Ecology. His political career includes serving as a Member of Parliament and as Deputy President (2013–2022). Ruto’s “Bottom-Up” economic model focuses on empowering small-scale traders and farmers. He is a master of grassroots mobilization and currently plays a central role in mediation efforts and economic reform across the East African region.
