Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has found himself in an awkward position during a leaders' consultative meeting at Irunduni in Meru County after a youth leader unexpectedly led the crowd in a protest chant mocking President William Ruto.

The incident, which has since gone viral, unfolded during what was expected to be a routine public engagement between national and county leaders. As is customary, the Deputy President invited local representatives to address the gathering before delivering his closing remarks.
