KRG The Don Says He Is Ready for Winnie Odinga in Nairobi Senate Race

Musician and businessman KRG The Don has declared he is ready to contest the Nairobi senatorial seat against Winnie Odinga, two days after the East African Legislative Assembly MP announced she would seek the same position.

Speaking on 16 October 2026, KRG The Don said aspirants should come forward and make their intentions known instead of making noise. He argued that Nairobi voters needed a different approach to leadership and urged rivals to prepare for a contest.

His remarks follow Winnie Odinga’s announcement on 15 October 2026 in Bondo, Siaya County, where she said she would vie for the Nairobi senate seat. She made the declaration during the first anniversary commemoration of her late father, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

Winnie Odinga, currently an EALA MP, said she saw an opportunity in Nairobi as incumbent Senator Edwin Sifuna pursues higher political office. She also called on young people to join her in seeking elective positions.

KRG The Don had earlier expressed interest in the seat, announcing his intention ahead of the 2027 polls in February 2026. He has since joined Mike Sonko’s National Economic Development Party (NEDP). At that time, he challenged aspirants to prepare to finance their own campaigns rather than depend on political parties or friends.

Neither KRG The Don nor Winnie Odinga has confirmed official candidacy filings or nominations.
