Kenya’s Deputy President William Ruto travelled to Uganda for a private meeting with President Yoweri Museveni this week, seeking to draw international attention to the country’s elections next year and boost his image as a potential future head of state in the region.
Pictures published by the local media on Tuesday showed Dr Ruto accompanying President Museveni at an event to lay the foundation stone for a vaccine manufacturing facility in Wakiso District and the duo later having a one-on-one meeting at State House, Entebbe.
