The creator, who bears an uncanny resemblance to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, filmed the celebratory clip outdoors in a residential parking lot on September 12, 2026.
In the selfie-style video, he dances and gestures proudly towards the vehicle, clearly in a mood to celebrate.

What has made the video spread rapidly across Kenyan Twitter is the timing.
The clip surfaced just days after the creator reportedly met Gachagua in person, who is currently on a tour of the United States.
The combination of the striking physical resemblance and the back-to-back appearances left many online users doing a double-take.
In the video, the audio can be heard: a Swahili song saying:
“Walidhani sita oa, walidhani niposiko, ona sasa nime pata mkena injo”, loosely translated as a taunt to those who doubted him, celebrating that he has now “made it.”
