The video has been circulating on different social networks, and netizens are making their own decisions about the incident.
Wavinya was part of the delegation that accompanied the leader of the Wiper Party Kalonzo Musyoka to Kang’o Ka Jaramogi in Bondo to honor the late ODM leader Raila Odinga.
The message arrived in style with several cows to present to Raila’s family, and they were warmly welcomed.
What happened between Ida Odinga and Wavinya Ndeti?
In an unexpected moment, Wavinya was recorded hugging Mama Ida, but that moment of hugging turned into an embarrassment for the county head.
Ida was standing and addressing the group of people in front of her when Wavinya approached her and hugged her.
However, he seemed unbothered by the Vinyas and continued to look in the direction of the people he was addressing.
Then Ida looked at Wavinya and removed her hands from her waist, and the scene left Wavinya visibly embarrassed.
Many netizens reacted to the video and below are some comments:
@JanetMutuku254:
“It’s the way he pushed my hand. Wavinya has failed women in leadership.”
@Kaikainaipaa:
“Propaganda, he went to Mama Ida while he was addressing something as you can see, he would wait for her to finish what he was addressing and then go to greet her later.”
Caroline.mutoko:
“Did Ida really move her hand? Weuh.”
esther.musila:
“Whew, he even moved his hand.”
darlroseflowerc:
“I think he was very embarrassed because he knows.”

“As a body language expert, this wasn’t their first hug.”
Did Ida Odinga ignore Wavinya Ndeti on purpose?
It should be noted that at the time it was not seen as intentional.
Mama Ida may have been overwhelmed by the large number of visitors she was receiving since Raila was buried.
The two do not have any known differences and later Wavinya had another chance with Mama Ida, and he used the opportunity to give her a gift.
In his post on social media, the governor referred to Ida as a mentor and encouraged her to be strong in times of grief.
“Mother Dr. Ida Odinga, you remain a true mentor and a source of inspiration for many of us. Your strength, wisdom, and compassion have guided those who depend on you. Even in this difficult time, your courage continues to shine. Take heart, you are not alone. We will continue to walk this journey with you,” Wavinya wrote.
What did Ida say about how Kalonzo landed in Bondo?
In other news, Kalonzo brought 100 cows, and the gesture surprised the widow Mama Ida.
Addressing the guests, Ida did her best to immediately address the spectacle set by Kalonzo and his message.
