The guests, in a show of support, showered the star with cash donations as fans cheered them on.

The moment was short-lived, however, as things took a chaotic twist moments after they left the stage.

Among the guests was Samuel Ireri, a budding politician eyeing the Embu Senate seat in the 2027 polls.

As he stepped off the stage, Ireri found himself face to face with Sharleen Wambui, a nominated MCA from Murang’a county and a known ally of first daughter Charlene Ruto and another politician, aspiring Roysambu MP, Kevin Shaban.

It is unclear what sparked an altercation, but the two engaged in a heated exchange that quickly escalated into a physical confrontation.

They appeared aggressive, forcing intoxicated partygoers to intervene and separate them as tensions flared.

To add to the night’s political intensity, the event was also marked by widespread anti-government chants from the crowd.
