Thursday, February 05, 2026 - Outspoken nominated Senator, Karen Nyamu, has shown she’s unbothered by the colorful nicknames that have followed her throughout her political journey.
In a candid Facebook post on Thursday, February 5th,
2026, Nyamu listed some of the names she proudly answers to, reflecting on how
her identity has evolved in the public eye.
“They call me Manzi wa Nai, Dem wa Kanairo, Kanairo Babe,
Mama Kanairo, Mama Nairobi, Nairobi’s Sweetheart, etc., and I answer to all
those names,” she wrote, sparking lively reactions online.
The nicknames, all tied to Nairobi, highlight her strong
association with the city and fuel speculation that she may be eyeing an
elective seat in the capital.
Nyamu’s ability to blend her personal life with her
political brand has made her one of the most talked-about figures in Kenya’s
political scene.
While she has embraced all the positive nicknames, Nyamu has
also faced criticism.
At one point, she was labeled a homewrecker after allegedly
wrecking the marriage of Edday Nderitu and Mugithi singer, Samidoh, with whom
she shares two children.
Despite the controversy, Nyamu’s outspoken nature and active social media presence have helped her build a sizeable following.
