Eye-Raising Acts Kenyans Have Done To Show Their Political Love And Support

There have never been truer words than “love makes the world go round.” All common sense is lost when the four-letter word enters the conversation, which leads to amusing outcomes.

Let’s talk about political love. This topic often leaves people perplexed and wondering what could possibly have happened to a normally sensible person.

Many people have strong emotional attachments to supporting particular candidates or political parties. Some people resort to odd acts of sycophancy or political love to express their devotion to their political parties or figures.

Although this is a worldwide phenomenon, let’s focus on Kenya for the moment.

Although this is a worldwide phenomenon, let’s focus on Kenya for the moment.
A case in point is George Bodo, who was so devoted to and supportive of ODM leader Raila Odinga that, upon learning that the former prime minister had contracted Covid-19, he was willing to watch Kenya disintegrate.

Bodo is quoted as saying: “This country should be disbanded and everyone should go home if this beast (COVID-19) can catch Raila Odinga.”

Fortunately, after the ODM leader contracted Covid-19 in March 2021 and recovered unharmed, the nation did not come to an end.

Bodo not only shows affection for Raila Odinga, but also the “love” that prevented him from picturing the virus that was feared during the pandemic’s height in 2020 coming into contact with him.

Others believe that drawing attention to it or supporting it in unusual ways is the best way to support their favorite politicians or political parties.

Here are several occasions where supporters of parties and individuals they adore make political statements.

A female with the Azimio hairdo

A hairstylist from Kirinyaga County believed that writing the name Azimio la Umoja Coalition on someone’s head was the best way to show his love for the organization.

Temu Awoo arranged a woman’s hair to spell out “Azimio R” and displayed it on Thursday during a rally that Martha Karua, another candidate for Azimio, attended.

Temu had last year arranged the woman’s hair to say “Waiguru” before switching his allegiance to Karua’s side.

The William Ruto tattoo

Deputy President William Ruto was inked on the back of a man by the name of Kevin Waithaka at the beginning of the year.

Waithaka informed the media that the tattoo cost him more than 8,000 Kenyan shillings and added that the DP is a good leader from whom he has benefited.

Man pushes wheelbarrow from Nakuru to Nairobi

Silas Wanjeru transported a statue of Deputy President William Ruto to his residence in Karen in May 2021 by pushing a wheelbarrow from Nakuru.

Wanjeru claimed his goal for starting the 155-kilometer journey was to reach Karen and give the sculpture to the Deputy President.

But even after arriving in Nairobi, he spent five days waiting for an audience with the second in command at the DP’s Karen home.

Wanjeru also traveled from Nakuru to Nairobi in 2019 to present President Uhuru Kenyatta with a sculpture.

It’s Thuraku Thuraku

The Kikuyu people resolved to turn out in their millions at the polls like ants because they sincerely wanted President Uhuru Kenyatta to defeat his fierce rival Raila Odinga in the runoff election.

They urged family members of hospitalized patients to try to convince them to attend the election and support their loved one. To guarantee the “Thuraku” impact was fully realized, matatu drivers volunteered to transport passengers at no cost.

Since the President’s birthday fell the day after the repeat elections, it was thought that a victory would be the ideal birthday present for him. Boy, did this decision have the desired emotional impact.

When the President’s victory was announced, his followers traveled long distances during the night to celebrate, disregarding the pouring rain, which some even claimed was a sign that God was also happy with the outcome. That is how much his supporters genuinely adored him, and I wish we were just kidding.
