Over the past few decades, politics has evolved, making it rare to see public displays of affection between high-ranking officials and their spouses, such as former President Kibaki and his wife, in front of cameras and national broadcasters.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and his wife have been known to show affection publicly, helping to demystify the presidency. Recently, the First Lady participated in a marathon, where she was greeted at the finish line by her husband, President Kenyatta.
