Kenya's top political and religious leaders gathered at the Safari Park Hotel in Nairobi for the 2025 National Prayer Breakfast, a solemn yet stylish event that saw dignitaries embrace elegance, symbolism, and cultural pride in their wardrobe choices.

President William Ruto set the tone with a classic yet commanding look. He donned a dark blue suit that offered a modern twist on traditional formalwear, paired with a crisp white shirt and a bold red tie.

Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetangula and Deputy President Kithure Kindiki complemented the President’s look with equally refined ensembles.

Wetangula opted for a traditional black suit, matched with a white shirt and a red tie nearly identical in hue to the President’s.

On the other side, Deputy President Kindiki introduced slight variation with a dark grey suit. Like his counterparts, he wore a white shirt and a patterned red tie.
