William Ruto takes oath of office amid stadium crush William Ruto was sworn in as Kenya's fifth post-independence president at a pomp-filled ceremony on Tuesday, after his narrow victory in a bitterly-fought but a largely peaceful election. Tens of thousands of people joined regional heads of state at a packed stadium in Nairobi to watch him take the oath of office, with many spectators clad in the bright yellow of Ruto's party, cheering and waving Kenyan flags. "I William Samoei Ruto, in full realisation of the high calling I assume as president of Kenya, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the public of Kenya, that I will obey, preserve and protect this constitution of Kenya," he said. Several people were injured earlier as crowds tried to force their way into the site. Television footage showed dozens of people falling on top of each other in a crush at one entrance gate.
