The reactions, drawn from randomly captured public comments, show a deeply divided and in some cases indifferent national mood.
A notable section of respondents appeared disengaged from the debate altogether, saying they do not care about the choice.
Others expressed resignation, suggesting that it does not matter who is picked since political outcomes are already seen as predictable by some voters.
A few even implied that the electorate has already made up its mind against the current leadership, regardless of the deputy president choice.
Among those who engaged more seriously, there is visible support for Wanga. Some described her as a worthy candidate, while others argued that women deserve greater representation in top leadership positions, including in running the affairs of the country.
A lighter, more humorous tone also appeared in some reactions, with suggestions that she would make a strong emotional support figure in the political journey ahead.
However, skepticism remains strong. Several respondents believe the president would not choose her, insisting that he already has a clear political strategy.
Others warned that such a move could backfire politically and potentially weaken his chances in a future election.
A smaller group redirected the discussion, arguing that only the president, his current deputy, or Gladys Wanga herself can truly speak on the matter with certainty.
Here are radomly picked screenshots of some of the comments from Kenyans online.
Overall, the mixed responses highlight a broader political reality in Kenya: while some voters view Wanga as a capable and progressive leadership option, many others are either indifferent to the debate or convinced that President Ruto already has a defined electoral path heading into 2027.
