The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission's announcement that elevated William Ruto and Rigathi Gachagua to the president and deputy president-elect, respectively, means they get to enjoy new trappings of power and privileges pending their official swearing-in.

Dr Ruto spent the better part of yesterday at his Karen residence where he received congratulatory messages from around the globe.

This, as the government transition committee, fine-tunes plans for the official handover of power by the end of this month if no presidential poll petition is filed at the Supreme Court.
