Winnie Odinga has sparked a fresh wave of attention after hinting at a move into local politics, and, perhaps unexpectedly, ignited a different kind of admiration online.
A pinned video on her TikTok has resurfaced, drawing an outpouring of affection from Kenyan women who appear captivated by more than her political ambitions.
The EALA MP’s confidence and charm in the short clip have struck a chord, setting off a flood of comments that mix humour, flirtation and admiration in equal measure.
From playful declarations like “my type” to the now-viral “kuja nikuambie pole love,” the reactions have turned the post into something of a digital love letter.
Even popular online personalities such as Rono have chimed in, adding to the lighthearted frenzy around Odinga’s social media presence.
The 2023 video resurfaced following the death of her father, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, when many Kenyans revisited her page to offer condolences.
Yet amid the mourning, a wave of renewed fascination with her personality and style has taken hold.
As she signals her intention to pursue a larger political role, Winnie Odinga seems to have inspired a following that goes beyond the political.
While the conversation began in the context of grief and legacy, it has quickly transformed into a reflection of charisma, relatability and the powerful intersection between public life and digital influence.
