Ruto selects a one-of-a-kind presidential flag ahead of the inauguration ceremony

William Ruto's official presidential flag will be green. The President-elect, who will be inaugurated tomorrow, September 13, was fully involved in the design of the presidential standard flag.

During the swearing-in ceremony, the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) will unveil the flag used as a symbol of the Head of State.

It will be flown alongside the national flag wherever the President goes and will be lowered as soon as he departs.

The flag also contains other details that Ruto's handlers have yet to reveal.

The flag, however, will feature two crossed spears and a shield in the colors of the national flag.

Ruto, just like his four predecessors, will want the flag customized to his liking.

"Ordinarily, the KDF would ask the incoming president about his design preference, touching on the colour and any other customizations he would prefer. Remember, he is the Head of State of the entire country and this is not about his party," Statecraft and security strategist Mumo Nzau said.

Ruto's flag to feature wheelbarrow?

Usually, the President has the final say on the symbol to appear on the flag. It remains to be seen whether the wheelbarrow symbol will feature in Ruto's flag as has been the case with the men who came before him. The wheelbarrow is the symbol of the President-elect's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.
