President William Ruto on Saturday, November 1, graced the pre-wedding ceremony of Trans Nzoia Senator Allan Chesang and his longtime lover, Chanelle Kittony.

The lavish ceremony, which was held in Kitale, Trans Nzoia County, also brought together senior government officials and politicians, including National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, Cooperatives Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya, former Health CS Susan Nakhumicha, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, Treasury PS Chris Kiptto, and PS Belio Kipsang.

Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot, nominated Senator Tabitha Mutinda, Uasin Gishu Senator Jackson Mandago, Mogotio MP Reuben Kiborek, UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar, and Karen Nyamu also attended the pre-wedding.

During the ceremony, Senator Chesang donned a cream shirt and trousers paired with a shimmering purple vest and a fedora hat.

Chanelle, on the other hand, was dressed in a stunning light purple gown adorned with floral appliqués.

In a statement after the ceremony, Wetang’ula congratulated Senator Chesang and Chanelle, wishing them a union filled with love.

“I congratulated Sen. Chesang for joining the club and reminded him that he was fulfilling a constitutional requirement that states that the foundation of our country is a family unit that is established between a man and a woman.

“To Chesang and Channelle, love each other, make every day a new day like you have never met each other before,” Wetang’ula stated.

Channelle is the CECM for Public Works, Roads, and Infrastructure in Trans Nzoia County. She is also the daughter of Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) Chairperson Kiprono Kittony.

The pre-wedding comes months after the two held an engagement ceremony in Kitale.

The engagement ceremony held on July 12 was attended by former Baringo Senator Gideon Moi and Sudi.

Senator Chesang donned a stylish two-tone outfit featuring cream beige and deep brown fabric, paired with a matching brown hat during the event.

Channelle, on the other hand, wore a light rose gold dress adorned with champagne-toned beadwork.

Guests embraced a mix of traditional and contemporary styles, with many of the men wearing hats and carrying walking sticks.
