Drama as Ruto Forced to Pause Speech in Kayole and Dance to Kasongo’s Song

Nairobi, Kenya – President William Ruto’s rally in Kayole took an unexpected turn when an excited crowd forced him to pause his speech and join them in dancing to a popular Kasongo song. The electrifying moment saw the Head of State momentarily abandon his address as the crowd erupted in cheers, urging him to show off his dance moves.

The unexpected spectacle unfolded when a local DJ at the event played a classic Lingala hit by Kasongo, instantly energising the audience. As the song’s infectious rhythm filled the air, the crowd started chanting, “Rais lazima acheze!” (The President must dance!). With no choice but to give in to the moment, Ruto smiled, briefly set aside his speech, and moved to the beat, much to the delight of the energetic crowd.

The President’s dance moves, though simple, sent the rally into a frenzy, with attendees clapping, laughing, and recording the moment on their phones. Social media quickly caught wind of the incident, with videos of Ruto grooving to the music going viral within minutes. Some netizens praised him for connecting with the people in a lighthearted way, while others joked about his rhythm.

After the brief but entertaining break, Ruto resumed his speech, addressing key national issues, including economic recovery and youth empowerment. However, the Kasongo dance moment stole the show, becoming the highlight of the rally.

Political analysts noted that such spontaneous moments help leaders appear more relatable to the public. Whether intentional or not, Ruto’s dance in Kayole will undoubtedly be remembered as one of his most entertaining campaign moments.
