Faith Odhiambo, the former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President who is gearing up for a run in the 2027 general election, has found herself in an unexpected conversation online, not about her political ambitions, but about what she has been wearing to Linda Mwananchi events.
The lawyer has been making the rounds alongside ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna and others in the Linda Mwananchi movement, building her political profile ahead of next year’s polls.
But as her public appearances have increased, so has the scrutiny on her outfits, with Kenyans questioning whether her fashion choices are suited to the functions she is attending.
Kenyans question Faith Odhiambo’s outfits
A photograph shared on October 20, 2026 by X user @Kenyan_Deportee showing Odhiambo at one of the events quickly drew attention in the comments section, with many users weighing in on her style.
Several netizens pointed out that while Odhiambo is widely regarded as sharp and intelligent, her dress sense has not kept pace with her rising political profile.
The general sentiment was that someone at her level, seeking elective office, needs a stylist who understands the visual expectations of public life.
Here are some of the reactions from social media users:
@WSylvesterKaluo put it bluntly:
“Ni kama kuna some issue somewhere. She just started dressing hivi hivi juzi juzi tu. Anyway, upande wa brilliancy nayo ako mbele.”
@HZDonn said:
“Provided she’s noticed…that’s what’s relevant.”
@otherafrikan said:
“Agreed . Very important for a woman in politics. It’s no joke.”
@Shaaz said:
“She needs to get a stylist who can dress her well.”
@Lilo said:
“I know we look for the brains which she has, but it would be nice to show up dressed well for the functions.”
