This gathering has caught the attention of many Kenyans, especially since it took place in Nyanza, a region known for supporting former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
The event was the fourth round of the UDA Comrades Chapter, and many attendees wore bright yellow t-shirts representing the UDA party.
Photos from the event showed enthusiastic locals, which led to discussions on social media about the significance of such a turnout.
Japheth Nyakundi, the UDA Party National Treasurer and Member of Parliament for Kitutu Chache North, attended the event.
His presence highlighted UDA's efforts to gain support in a region where they received very few votes in the last elections. Nyanza is traditionally a stronghold for Raila Odinga, making UDA's mission challenging.
The recent relationship between Raila Odinga and President William Ruto has sparked interest in political dynamics in the region.
With both leaders now closer, many are curious to see how this will influence UDA's popularity in Nyanza.
The event in Kisumu could be a sign that some residents are open to supporting UDA, despite its past challenges in the region.
The turnout at the UDA event has led to mixed reactions. Supporters of the party view the large crowd as a positive sign of growing acceptance, while others are skeptical about whether this support will last.
Some social media users expressed concerns that the enthusiasm might not translate into actual votes in the next general election.
As UDA continues to seek support in Nyanza, the reactions from the public will be essential in understanding the future of the party in this region.
The upcoming elections will reveal whether UDA can maintain the momentum seen at this event or if the traditional support for Raila Odinga will prevail.
