Kipchoge.
Setting enroute records requires the runner to finish the longer race.

This may be "technically" true but in a grand, universal, absolutist view, Kiplimo crossed the 25k mark first and is therefore the record holder. This view may upset a few folks but it is what is.

Given that the 25km world record is not officially recognized, the arbitrary rule of finishing the longer event is not applicable.
Kiplimo is the new record holder
