On Tuesday, William Ruto took the oath of office as Kenya's fifth president to thunderous applause from his throngs of fans.
When Ruto's name was spoken, the crowd never stopped applauding.
The President took the oath of office while dressed in a dark gray suit and yellow tie, holding a Bible close to him.
He promised to "defend and uphold the sovereignty, integrity, and dignity of the people of Kenya."
"I do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Republic of Kenya," Ruto said.
Rigathi Gachagua also took the oath of office as Deputy President.
"I will always truly and diligently serve the people and the Republic of Kenya in the office of the deputy president. I will do justice to all without fear, favour, affection and ill will," he said.
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta handed over the Constitution to Ruto as part of the instruments of power.
Former Chief of Kenyan Defence Forces Robert Kibochi watched the handing over at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, Nairobi.
Uhuru watched as his blue presidential standard was lowered on one pole while the presidential standard of the new commander was hoisted.
Immediately after receiving the instruments of power, KDF welcomed the new president with the ceremonial 21-gun salute.
The Constitution is presented to the President as a sign that the nation is run according to the rule of law, and it is meant to serve as a guide for his decisions.
As President and Commander-In-Chief of the Defense Forces, Ruto's first directive was to order a break in the Guard of Honour, which Uhuru had examined before he handed over authority.
It was given the ceremonial sword, which is typically housed in the president's office in Harambee House in Nairobi and has a stainless steel grip and a gold-plated blade.
