A short video from Kitale is circulating online, and what it shows is clear enough: a group of youths insisting the town is politically aligned with Saboti MP Caleb Amisi. "Hapa ni kwa Caleb Amisi, party ni moja," they say. They also chant "Wantam hapa," a slogan associated with calls for a change of government, and warn that they are ready for a political contest.
What the video does not show is just as important. According to the story, it does not establish whether the youths were speaking for a wider group or an organised political movement. It also leaves open which UDA members or leaders they were addressing when they spoke of a contest. The clip is a few voices with a strong message, not evidence of how many people stand behind it.
That is still worth noting in context. Leaders and supporters across the country are positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election, and Amisi, who represents Saboti Constituency in Trans Nzoia County, has been active in national political debates. A video like this one is how that positioning plays out at street level, where slogans carry the message before any formal campaign begins.
The story's own conclusion is modest: the clip has drawn attention to political messages coming out of Kitale as different camps try to strengthen their support. How far those messages reach is not something the video can answer.
