Numerous uniformed and plainclothes officers were around the president’s vehicle.
A woman filming the moment asked where Ruto’s vehicle was, and a man showed her.
“It’s the one without a license plate.”
“There he is,” one woman excitedly exclaimed after spotting Ruto in the co-driver’s seat.
The women excitedly laughed before loudly calling the president.
“Ruto, Ruto,” they repeatedly said.
Their shouts caught the president’s attention, and he waved back at them while smiling.
The women excitedly laughed after getting acknowledgement from the president.
People disgruntled with Ruto’s presidency were unimpressed by the video, while accusing the women of betrayal.
