Deputy President William Ruto has arrived in the United States.
Ruto arrived shortly past midnight flanked by his delegation that comprised leaders allied to Kenya Kwanza Alliance.
The DP confirmed his arrival and revealed that he was welcomed by Kenyan Ambassador to US Lazarus Amayo.
"Arrived safely in Washington, D.C. for a series of meetings. We were received by, among others, Kenya’s Ambassador to the United States, Lazarus Amayo," the DP said.
The DP is set for a 12-day tour of the US and UK after which he will get back to the country for his campaigns.
Ruto left the country on Sunday morning in the company of his head of presidential campaign Governor Josephat Nanok.
Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya and ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi are also in the tour.
Economist David Ndii, Ruto's presidential campaigns head of foreign relations Ababu Namwamba and head of communications Hussein Mohamed are among the delegation.
Nairobi Senator Johnstone Sakaja is said to have left the country a few days ago to lay the groundwork for the Kenya Kwanza delegation ahead of their tour.
