Throughout the broadcast, viewers are repeatedly posting a single phrase: "RUTO MUST GO." The comment appears over and over from different users, creating a flood of messages aimed at President William Ruto. One user even paired the slogan with Kenya's population, signaling a call for widespread support for the protest.
The chat moves at lightning speed. The repeated posts dominate the space, making other messages almost invisible. At one point, a viewer seemed to hesitate, typing a comment and then deleting it, before the stream returned to the relentless wave of identical posts.
This coordinated activity shows how social media and livestreams can be used for real-time political expression. The chat, which is usually a space for general reactions and casual commentary, has transformed into a focused channel for a clear political demand.
The physical tour that Ishowspeed is conducting in Kenya seems to have intensified the digital response. The combination of an online event and a local political climate has turned the livestream into a stage for both entertainment and protest.
