Election 2022

The use of innovative technology in the 2022 Kenyan elections resulted in a transparent, free and fair election. Even though the opposition contested the results in the supreme court they lacked evidence to back the allegations, so the results were upheld. President William Ruto, PhD, was sworn in as the first non- Kikuyu president who is not from the ruling elite families–a marked departure from the past.
