Video: Interesting Times in Eldoret as Youth Throw Away Ruto’s UDA T-Shirts After This Happened
Dramatic scenes unfolded in Eldoret City on Saturday, October 17, 2026, after frustrated youths were captured on video throwing away UDA-branded T-shirts following President William Ruto’s political rally.
In footage that has since gone viral, the young people, believed to be university students in the area, are heard lamenting that they were allegedly promised money to attend the rally, only for those who mobilised them to disappear without paying them.
The incident occurred shortly after President Ruto and his Kenya Kwanza allies addressed a massive crowd in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, in a show of political mobilisation that sent a strong message to the opposition.
However, what appeared to be a successful political gathering soon became the subject of online debate after the video emerged, shifting attention from the large crowds to the alleged frustrations of some of the young attendees.

According to the claims made in the circulating footage, the students had been mobilised to attend the UDA rally with the expectation that they would receive money for their participation. They now claim that the individuals who allegedly made the promises could not be found after the event.
The apparent decision to discard the party-branded T-shirts has since attracted attention, with social media users discussing the role of financial incentives in political mobilisation and the treatment of young people during campaign activities.
Eldoret remains a significant political centre for President Ruto, particularly as political leaders position themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election. The rally brought together government allies and supporters in a demonstration of the ruling coalition’s ability to draw crowds.
Nevertheless, the allegations emerging after the event have raised questions about accountability among political mobilisers.
The identities of those accused of promising payment have not been independently established, and no official response addressing the claims was provided in the available account.
As the video continues to circulate, further clarification from the students and the organisers involved will be necessary to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
