The rally itself draws thousands of motorsport enthusiasts every year, and this time was no different, as fans gathered to watch drivers tackle the tough stages around Naivasha.
Among the crowd, George Ruto, the youngest son of President William Ruto, was spotted enjoying the races. Photos and clips shared online revealed him chilling trackside with friends, soaking in the atmosphere before he headed to the service area at Hells Gate where teams were prepping their cars for the final leg.
His outfit—cargo pants, a light grey shirt, and a sun hat—spoke to a laid-back rally vibe, and he seemed at ease mingling with fans and acquaintances.
But it wasn’t just his presence that stirred talk. A video of him leaving the venue went viral, mainly because of the expensive vehicles trailing behind him.
George was seen driving a black Mercedes G63 SUV through the near-rally traffic, followed closely by another high-end ride, believed to be a Lexus LX600. Both are known for their hefty price tags in Kenya, worth tens of millions of shillings.
At one point, he slowed briefly to greet Nganya Princess, a notable figure within the matatu culture—a sector where George is reportedly involved in business.
This brief interaction sparked mixed reactions online. Some commended his confident lifestyle, while others questioned the necessity of such an overt display with a luxury convoy.
George later addressed the buzz in the comments under one of the viral videos, explaining he was just in a hurry leaving the event. He also took a lighthearted jab at social media users who likened his number plates to those associated with certain forex traders.
This rally appearance adds to the spotlight on the first son, particularly among young Kenyans who keep a close eye on his lifestyle and public moments.
