Former Kenyan President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta and current President Dr. William Ruto set aside their political differences as they attended the swearing-in ceremony of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) President Félix Tshisékédi in Kinshasa on Saturday.
Photographs captured the moment when the two leaders, who have been at odds in recent years, shared a cordial handshake before the ceremony commenced.
Throughout the event, they found themselves in the same seating area, albeit at a distance, symbolizing a potential thaw in their relationship.
Pius Kinuthia, a former Muranga county Senator aspirant, praised Uhuru and Ruto on social media, commending them for exhibiting true leadership qualities and emphasizing the importance of forgiveness for the nation.
Kinuthia acknowledged Uhuru’s efforts to destabilize the nation but applauded Ruto for embracing forgiveness.
Social media influencer Ng’endo Murugu echoed the sentiment, describing the meeting between Uhuru and Ruto on foreign soil as a display of happiness and pride.
Murugu emphasized the significance of the former President’s apparent joy in reuniting with his successor.
The reconciliation between Uhuru and Ruto in a foreign land has sparked discussions about political unity and forgiveness, with many online users expressing optimism for a more cohesive future in Kenyan politics.
As the leaders demonstrated unity at an international event, the question remains whether this newfound rapport will translate into domestic cooperation.
