Omanga, follower of myou the leader of the UDA party and Ruto in the 2022 election, caused mixed feelings after praising the ODM movement of Linda Mwananchi Tour in Kitengela, organized on Sunday, February 15.
What did Omanga say about ODM’s Linda Mwananchi Tour?
The visit attracted thousands of Kenyans who stood in solidarity with former ODM secretary general Edwin Sifuna and his team, including the Governor James OrengoEmbakasi East MP Babu Owino, Vihiga senator Godfrey Osotsi, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi, and Kisii senator Richard Onyonka, among others.
The businessman was pleased with the turnout at the event, suggesting strong support for making Ruto a one-term president.
“Revolution is necessary… There is no fear… There is no turning back… Kaongo should go the way he is going. The power of Kitengela,” he said.
Earlier, Omanga confirmed that she will run for the Nairobi county women’s representative seat in 2027, a position she lost in the last polls.
“Many people have been asking what my plan is for 2027. I will be on the Nairobi Women’s Representative ballot. I will be with my people. I hear them, and we are together in this,” she confirmed during the ruracio event in Gatundu South.
His change of tune has drawn public debate over shifting political allegiances ahead of the 2027 election.
What was Kenyan’s opinion of Millicent Omanga?
Steve Kamwanza “Hahaha, this is the plan: divide the opposition. The game is successful; I’m sure someone is sitting still and that it’s going well. Read the plan.”
Lewis Butatila “Mr. Millicent Omanga—Mama Miradi, this is where the power is. Plug yourself into like-minded guys like Babu and Sifuna. Here in Nairobi you will pass 6am in the morning. Think about this.”
Kalasinga Muindi “Aaaaaarrr! Are you really on this side of Wantam? Millicent, are you a mole?”
Hussein Mnyamwezi “I didn’t know you would change the song and sing Wantam. Amazing.”
Philiph Kyuma Favourboy “He will later say his account was hacked by mulot boys.”
Victor Otiba “I never thought of you being on this side! The song ended before I even had the first dance.”
Trevor James “A revolution aims to achieve change for society, not a certain number of beneficiaries. Can you clarify what you plan to do with what is called a revolution?”
