Nominated MP Millie Odhiambo has reacted with surprise and amusement after Oburu Oginga, a senior politician in her party, reportedly admitted to having secretly admired her in the past.

In a playful response shared publicly, Odhiambo expressed disbelief that a senior party leader would harbor feelings for her in silence, noting the long period before the confession came to light.

“I have heard that the ‘youth leader’ confessed that he used to admire me. I can’t believe my party leader. He just kept admiring me silently and looking at a beautiful girl like me until the Zimbabwean man made away with me. I wonder, my youth leader,” Millie said.

Her comments have sparked amusement and curiosity among social media users, with many praising her candid and humorous take on the revelation. Observers note that the interaction highlights a lighter, more personal side of political figures, contrasting with the usual serious tone of party politics.

The incident comes amid ongoing discussions about the dynamics and relationships within Millie’s political circle, drawing attention to the often playful exchanges that occur behind the scenes in Kenyan politics.

While the confession is lighthearted, some analysts suggest that such stories help humanize politicians and make them more relatable to the public, offering a break from the usual policy-heavy discourse.
