Thousands of Kenyans have flocked to the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi for the 62nd Jamhuri Day celebrations, an annual national event marking Kenya’s independence.
President William Ruto is expected to preside over the ceremony, with Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama serving as the chief guest. President Mahama touched down in Nairobi shortly after midnight, ahead of the highly anticipated national event.
This year’s Jamhuri Day theme, “Tourism and Wildlife,” celebrates Kenya’s global reputation as a top travel destination and showcases the nation’s rich wildlife heritage. The celebrations are expected to highlight government efforts to boost the tourism sector and promote conservation across the country.
As the stadium fills up, anticipation continues to build for the official address and the day’s major national showcases.
