Measured over 157 original posts, its engagement rate beats 37% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

Compared with accounts its own size

William Samoei Ruto, PhD's engagement rate beats 37% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 60% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,654 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,977 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    Mama Rachel and I extend our heartfelt condolences to Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale following the passing of his beloved wife, Gloria Sekeiyan. We stand with Senator Khalwale and his family in this moment of immense grief. The loss of a spouse, companion and mother leaves a deep void, and we pray that God grants the family strength, comfort and peace as they mourn and cherish her memory. May Gloria’s soul rest in eternal peace.

    Next year’s General Election will be decisive and consequential. We will bring to an end the stale politics of division, fragmentation and marginalisation, and usher in a new politics of unity, inclusion and transformation—one that leaves no community and no part of Kenya behind. Hosted Iteso grassroots leaders at State Lodge, Eldoret, where His Royal Highness Papa Emorimor Paul Sande Emolot Etomeileng III installed me as an elder of the Iteso community and bestowed upon me the name Ojokotau.

    Addressed residents of Maili Nne, Huruma and Eldoret City, Uasin Gishu County, and updated them on the progress we are making in delivering our development agenda. Also inspected the Champions Retail Market in Eldoret City, one of 14 modern markets we are building across the county. Nationally, we are building 600 modern markets, fulfilling our promise to Mama Mboga that they will do their business in decent, safe and dignified spaces. We have not stopped there. Over the past four years, we have worked hard to fulfil each and every commitment we made to the people of Kenya, as set out in our manifesto, The Plan. We are keen on accelerating the transformation of our nation, expanding opportunities for all and transitioning our country to a first-world economy that every Kenyan will be proud to call home.

    The retrogressive politics of tribalism, hatred, division, empty slogans and name-calling have no place in modern Kenya. Our country must move forward on the basis of ideas, leadership and a shared national purpose. https://t.co/apfrKDkN3v
