Who would have thought a person with humble beginnings would lead our nation as the fifth president? Who would have thought a man born from Kamugut Village, Sugoi, whose father has zero page of history would be the president? Who would have thought a "chicken seller" would be the commander in chief of the Kenya Defence Forces? Who would have thought a man with no support of the regime he tirelessly supported and later turned against him would win the presidency? President William Ruto defied all odds and won. This is for sure a story of hope for the generations to come. A story of overcoming adversities and persevering against doubt to win.
