President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto have arrived at Parliament buildings ahead of his inaugural address.

It is the first time he is inspecting a guard of honour after which he will address Parliament.

Ruto is expected to explicitly state priorities for the first 100 days of his administration. This will in turn inform Parliament’s legislative agenda.

A notice by Speakers of the bicameral parliament said the President will preside over the opening of the two houses; Senate and National Assembly. 

Article 132 (1)(a) of the Constitution requires the President to address the opening of each newly elected Parliament.
