Former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Faith Odhiambo is set to contest the Nairobi Woman Representative seat in the next General Election.
Siaya Governor James Orengo confirmed the development on Saturday, June 20, after hosting Odhiambo at his office, marking her latest political move after weeks of speculation about her future.
In a statement on his social media platform, the Siaya Governor described Odhiambo as a fearless defender of justice whose public support for Gen Z protesters and peaceful demonstrators had demonstrated strong leadership.
“Faith Odhiambo is a proven defender of justice whose fearless stand for Gen Z and peaceful protestors showed the true meaning of leadership,” he stated.
He added that Odhiambo’s decision to join the Linda Mwananchi movement was a major boost for women’s leadership and the broader push for accountability and citizen-centred governance.
Orengo further endorsed her bid for the Nairobi Woman Representative position, arguing that the capital city requires leaders who can provide an independent and incorruptible voice in Parliament.
“Her bid for Nairobi Woman Representative comes at the perfect time. Nairobians deserve an incorruptible voice, and Faith is exactly that,” he added.
This comes after Odhiambo’s recent decision to align herself with the Linda Mwananchi wing led by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna.
She was formally welcomed into the movement, with Sifuna sharing photos of her alongside the coalition’s leadership and campaign team.
