Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga have joined Kenyans in wishing marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge success as he attempts to break his own record in a few days to come.
Taking to Twitter to express his faith in Kipchoge, Ruto championed the legend as the world’s greatest marathoner who is set to “define a new level of distinction.”
“In a few days, the world’s greatest marathoner will once again be embarking on uncharted journey to smash the limits of human athleticism,” the DP tweeted.
