On August 6, 2020, a photo of a man who bears a striking resemblance to President Uhuru Kenyatta went viral on social media.
The man, who shared the photo on Twitter, claimed to have had a chat with the 'president' and received his blessings to run for an MCA seat in 2022.
According to the tweet, the man said, "#I was with Uhunye today at my fitness studio, and I told him of my interests for #MatheriWAKamburuWard2022, he gave me his blessings."
The tweet quickly gained traction, with many sharing the photos on their pages and others joking about the similarity.
Some even referred to the man as a 'poor man's Uhuru,' while others came up with hilarious ideas on what they would have done if they were in his place.
