The man’s appearance became one of the talking points in the comments section, with several users making references to Ruto. Some appeared to joke about whether the President had also joined the political movement, while others simply focused on the physical resemblance.
“Huyo ni nani anakaa Ruto,” another social media user asked.

“Comment section ya hii picha mko na mchezo aki muache kutaja ” doktari uliam “,” another user commented.
The photos were shared as Sifuna officially opened the Linda Mwananchi Movement’s national headquarters in Lavington, Nairobi. The opening was held on Friday, October 30, 2026, as the political outfit continues to establish its structures ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The event brought together several opposition leaders, including Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua, Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Democratic Action Party-Kenya (DAP-K) leader Eugene Wamalwa.
Their presence placed the opening among recent engagements involving opposition political formations.
“Kwani Ruto pia ameingia chama kubwa ama mimi ndo naona vibaya,” another social media user commented.
The comment added to the remarks from users who had noticed the resemblance between the man in the photo and the president. While the man was not identified in the information shared, his appearance prompted several references to Ruto in the comments section.
The attention came as Sifuna’s headquarters opening brought together opposition figures for the political movement’s latest activity in Nairobi.
