Tension is rising in Embakasi East, and it’s no longer about manifestos or development plans—it’s personal, political, and now even digital. Aspiring MP Cosmas Choy has come out swinging after an AI-generated photo went viral showing him feminized, sparking a storm of online banter and bitter exchanges.
Choy, a vocal supporter of President William Ruto and Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, didn’t hold back in his fiery response:
“It can’t be me, I have beards and my name is Cosmas Choy, not Joyce. Joyce is your mother.”

The AI stunt, allegedly orchestrated by his political rivals, comes just as Choy begins laying ground for a 2027 bid to unseat Babu Owino. While the image was clearly manipulated, the message behind it was aimed to ridicule and destabilize his growing support base.
But if his opponents hoped to rattle him—they failed.
“I continue supporting President William Samoei Ruto and Professor Abraham Kithure Kindiki (AKK), the 6th President of Kenya—not Matiang’i,” Choy declared, in a jab widely interpreted as targeting the former Interior CS’s silent political movements.
Choy’s online clapback has now become a trending TikTok soundbite, with youth remixing it over drill beats and memes—turning the insult into a brand boost.
The digital smear campaign may have been meant to embarrass, but it’s ironically amplified his visibility—especially among Gen Z voters who respect a fearless counterpunch.
As political content increasingly moves online, so do the dirty tricks—and Choy’s case is just a glimpse into how 2027 might look: memes, AI, fake quotes, and clapbacks replacing rallies and posters.
But for now, Choy has the last word—and apparently, a beard to prove it.
