The incident occurred during a public engagement in Mwiki, Gituamba, where Kanyari was meeting residents as part of his campaign activities ahead of his bid for the Kasarani parliamentary seat.
What began as a routine stop quickly turned into a widely discussed moment when music from the gathering prompted a spontaneous dance session.
Witnesses at the event cheered as the preacher joined a woman from the crowd on the dance floor, creating a lively atmosphere that was captured on mobile phones and shared widely online.(Watch video).
Within a short time, the clip had spread across various social media platforms, drawing thousands of reactions.
Following the viral video, Kanyari appeared to play down the moment by suggesting that dancing is not one of his strengths.
However, the footage continued to fuel debate among online users, with many responding humorously while others questioned whether the display matched his role as a religious leader seeking political office.(Watch video).
The viral dance overshadowed other activities carried out during the visit, including Kanyari's outreach efforts aimed at empowering local women and boda boda operators.
Political observers note that in today's digital age, brief and unexpected moments often attract more public attention than campaign messages or policy discussions.
As the race for the Kasarani parliamentary seat gathers momentum, the incident has added another chapter to Kanyari's often headline-making public image, which continues to blend religion, politics, and entertainment.
Whether the attention will boost or hurt his political ambitions remains to be seen, but the viral dance has undoubtedly kept him in the public conversation.
