Kenyan Presidential candidate William Ruto campaigns in the Kirinyaga County of the Mount Kenya region ahead of the Kenyan elections on 9 August. Mount Kenya is the sacred land of the Kikuyu, the largest ethnic group in the country. In a country traditionally marked by voting patterns tied to tribal identity, Mount Kenya has largely voted for Uhuru Kenyatta in the last two presidential elections. But today, its voters have the choice between two main candidates outside their ethnic community: a Kalenjin, William Ruto, and a Luo, Raila Odinga. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
