The Election Act mandates that candidates hold their final campaign events 48 hours before voting day. The cutoff time is 6 pm.
Ruto headed straight to the airport following the gathering at Nyayo Stadium in an effort to get to Kiambu before the deadline.
In a video posted on social media, the DP can be seen rushing for a waiting helicopter while racing along the runway.
The DP had a full day because he had earlier that morning led the Kenya Kwanza principals in a press conference at Karen before traveling to Narok County.
After that, the Kenya Kwanza caravan returned to Nairobi, stopping at Nyayo stadium for the important gathering.
