President William Ruto has made the same number of foreign trips as his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta in the first 135 days in office.

Between September 13, 2022, when he was sworn into office as Kenya's fifth president, and January 23, 2023, when he made his most recent trip abroad, Dr. Ruto has made a total of 12 trips. That period is roughly 133 days.
