The update centred on former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and questioned how Kenyans currently view his chances on the national stage.
The post included an informal online poll meant to encourage public interaction rather than collect verified data. Even so, it attracted thousands of responses within hours.
A large number of participants showed doubt about Gachagua’s ability to lead the country.
Many users felt that his political strength is largely limited to his home area and that he has not built enough support across the rest of the nation.
Several comments pointed to his past actions and statements, which some people believe have contributed to divisions instead of unity.
These critics argued that such an approach may work in local politics but falls short when it comes to leading a country with many communities and differing interests.
Some went further to say that he lacks the national outlook required for the presidency.
Still, not all reactions were negative. A smaller but vocal group defended him, saying he is firm, courageous, and willing to challenge powerful political figures.
Supporters claimed that he speaks his mind and represents a leadership style that appeals to those tired of traditional politics.
However, these positive views were outweighed by the wider scepticism seen in the comment sections.
Many users suggested that he would be better suited to a regional leadership role rather than a nationwide one.
Overall, the reactions highlight how social media continues to influence political debate in Kenya.
Although the poll was not official, it offered a glimpse into public attitudes and the hurdles Gachagua may face if he hopes to expand his appeal beyond familiar ground.
At present, he remains a deeply divisive figure, drawing loyalty from some while raising serious doubts among many others.
