Kimilili Member of Parliament Didmus Barasa has attracted attention on social media after sharing a video showing him without his trademark red hat, an appearance that left several Kenyans surprised.
The outspoken legislator posted the video on his TikTok account, capturing himself enjoying a relaxed moment outdoors while dressed casually.
Unlike his usual public appearances, Barasa appeared without the red fez-style hat that has become one of his most recognisable fashion accessories.
In the video, the MP is seen seated on a grassy outdoor area while holding his mobile phone. He later lowers the device, picks up a pair of black-rimmed glasses and puts them on as he engages in a conversation with a person seated beside him.
His companion, who is dressed in yellow, is partly visible in the recording as the two share a relaxed moment.
However, it was Barasa's decision to appear without his signature headgear that attracted the most attention from viewers.
Several social media users flooded the comments section with humorous remarks, with some admitting that they initially struggled to recognise the legislator without his familiar red hat.
One user, identified as mama neema, observed that it was the first time they had seen the MP without the accessory.
Another commenter, Abby Nasambu, jokingly remarked in Swahili that she had always thought Barasa was around her age.
Meanwhile, Maweu Snr said they initially mistook the legislator for another politician, Josphat Nanok.
Barasa's red hat has become closely associated with his public image, frequently distinguishing him during parliamentary sessions and political engagements.
The latest video demonstrated how a simple change in his dressing style could generate considerable discussion among his online followers.
