The ceremony comes when there is growing hostility between Ruto and Azimio leader Raila Odinga.
The high political temperatures have been stoked by the latest wave of protests against the government by the opposition.
Homa Bay, which has also witnessed protests, is perceived to be Raila’s stronghold and most dependable political bastion.
