Mama Ida
endorsed Raila Odinga Junior for the Kibra parliamentary seat ahead of Kenya's
2027 election, invoking the Swahili proverb 'mtoto wa simba ni simba' — the son
of a lion is a lion — after residents approached her.
She highlighted the Odinga family's deep roots
in Kibra, where the
late Raila Odinga's Nairobi politics began, and urged local
leaders to mentor her son in clean, issue-based politics.
