During his address at the 80th United Nations General Assembly, President William Ruto issued a stark warning that the UN must reform or risk irrelevance, emphasizing the need for a modernized Security Council and an overhaul of the global financial system. He strongly advocated for Africa's representation, demanding two permanent seats with full veto rights.

• Ruto proposed two permanent seats for Africa, with full rights including veto power, plus two additional non-permanent seats on the Security Council.
• He cited Kenya's leadership of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti, highlighting its achievements despite operating under-funded and below 40% of authorized strength.
• Kenya has achieved 93% of its electricity from renewable sources and champions Africa's role in climate solutions, calling for the global community to unlock $300 billion in climate finance.
