politician Kenya

Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta is a prominent Kenyan politician who served as the President of Kenya from 2013 to 2022. He is the son of Jomo Kenyatta, the first President of Kenya, and has played a significant role in the country's political landscape. Initially entering politics in the early 1990s, he co-founded the Kenya African National Union (KANU) and later aligned with Deputy President William Ruto to form a formidable political coalition known as 'UhuRuto'. Their partnership helped them win the presidency in 2013 amidst challenges, including facing charges at the International Criminal Court related to post-election violence. After a controversial 2022 election, where he backed Raila Odinga against Ruto, Kenyatta has sought to play a mediating role in Kenya's political disputes, earning him a reputation as a stabilizing figure in a time of division.
