President William Ruto will retreat to his Rift Valley political backyard for a mega prayer service at a time his administration is facing its biggest challenge yet from the opposition.

Since his election in August last year, President Ruto, his deputy Rigathi Gachagua and their allies have been holding thanksgiving ceremonies in one county after every other Sunday.
