Former nominated senator Millicent Omanga has apologized to retired President Uhuru Kenyatta for disregarding his political advice during the 2022 General Election and supporting the current Kenya Kwanza administration instead.
In a statement shared across her social media platforms on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, Omanga admitted that she and other leaders who backed the current regime failed to heed Uhuru’s warnings and are now dealing with the painful fallout of that choice.
“Mzee, we are truly sorry for not listening to your warning. As human beings, we are prone to mistakes, and today we have learned the hard way. Tusamehe sana,” she wrote.
The Nairobi Woman Representative hopeful also appealed to Kenyans to forgive the politicians who campaigned for the current administration, saying they never intended to bring suffering to the country.
“We are also asking fellow Kenyans to forgive some of us, because our intentions were never to see our country suffer. We are praying for forgiveness, wisdom, and better days for Kenya,” she stated.
Omanga added that Uhuru’s pre-election warnings have now proven entirely accurate.
“Your words now carry the painful truth we failed to see,” she said.
Omanga issued her apology just days after Kenyatta revisited his 2022 campaign trail alerts. The former president argued that many of the economic and social struggles crushing the nation today stem from the exact issues he explicitly cautioned the country about during the election cycle.
Speaking on Monday during a Jubilee Party delegates’ meeting at the Kiambu Golf Club, Uhuru urged Kenyans, especially voters in Kiambu and the greater Mt Kenya region, to carefully evaluate their political alignments ahead of the 2027 General Election.
“I warned you in 2022, but you didn’t listen. Now you are crying,” Uhuru said.
Elsewhere in the ongoing Kenyan political circus, Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo has declared herself vindicated following the disbandment of the Orange Democratic Movement’s (ODM) Linda Ground faction, insisting she maintained steadfast loyalty to the main party while her colleagues fractured into rival camps.
In a statement shared across her social media accounts on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, the outspoken lawmaker reiterated that she consistently refused to associate with either the Linda Ground or Linda Mwananchi factions that emerged during recent internal wrangles within the ODM party.
“I said clearly that I am not in ODM Linda Ground or ODM Linda Mwananchi but in ODM. I was told I am a fence-sitter. Am I still fence-sitting or fence-leaping? Feeling justified with one million others,” she wrote.
Odhiambo dropped these remarks just days after Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, who chairs ODM, announced that the party would officially abandon the “Linda Ground” slogan. Wanga dissolved the movement to eliminate growing confusion among supporters and urged members to unite behind the official party machinery ahead of the upcoming political cycle.
