Kenyan comedian Millicent Ayuma Obayi, popularly known as Dem Wa Facebook, has ignited online debate after hinting at contesting for women representative seat in the 2027 general elections.

The witty entertainer shared a poster of herself reading “Vote 2027, Millicent Ayuma Obayi, Women Representative,” alongside a playful caption: “Hapo vipi? 2027 iko sawa ama tungoje 2032? Na umechukua kura?”

The post, shared on her Instagram feed, quickly drew attention from fans and political observers alike, with many interpreting it as a serious signal of her intention to join the political arena as an independent candidate.

In her outlined manifesto, Dem Wa Facebook emphasized key pillars including “transparency and accountability,” “women economic empowerment,” “youth empowerment,” and “representation and voice in leadership.”

The agenda mirrors her public persona, which often highlights everyday struggles through humor and satire.

Support poured in from followers, with one fan writing, “I know you will be a good leader, good move Milly.” Another added, “You can lead by the way,” while a third declared, “I’m rooting for you.”

Known for her sharp wit and relatable content, Dem Wa Facebook has built a strong digital following, a factor many believe could translate into political capital.

Her supporters argue that her ability to connect with ordinary Kenyans gives her a unique edge in championing grassroots issues, particularly those affecting women and youth.

However, some observers remain cautious, noting that the transition from comedy to politics can be challenging.

Still, the early reactions suggest her potential candidacy has already captured public imagination.

As the 2027 race slowly begins to take shape, Dem Wa Facebook’s bold move has added a fresh, unconventional voice to the conversation, raising questions about whether digital influence can successfully transform into leadership at the ballot box.
