The bridal shower comes months after Charlene and her fiancé, Tanzanian technology entrepreneur Isaya Yunge, held their traditional Kalenjin Koito ak Chaik ceremony on August 8, 2026, at the family’s Intonna Heritage Farm in Kilgoris, Narok County. Kbc
That high-profile event, hosted by President Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto, brought together political leaders, family members, and guests from both Kenya and Tanzania. The couple’s relationship has since been public, with the pair appearing together at events including the recent wedding of former Cabinet Secretary Charles Keter’s daughter in Kericho. K24
Isaya Yunge, a tech entrepreneur from Mwanza who co-founded SomaApps Technologies and has been recognised among Forbes Africa 30 Under 30, formalised the union through the Koito process. Charlene has described herself as delighted to be welcomed into his Tanzanian family. K24
While the exact date of the upcoming wedding in Tanzania has not been publicly confirmed, the bridal shower marks another step in the couple’s preparations. The celebration has drawn attention on social media, with Kenyans sharing images and well-wishes for the first daughter. X
