ODM Party Leader Oburu Oginga has found himself at the centre of online chatter after a candid video of him walking along a London street went viral on September 15, 2026.
Where is Oburu Oginga?
The clip, posted on X by @PeterReagan777, shows the veteran politician strolling on a city sidewalk near a storefront bearing the name “MGM Trade Supplies,” flanked by a group of bodyguards.
Oburu had reportedly travelled to the United Kingdom for a routine medical checkup. The footage quickly caught fire online, with many Kenyans weighing in on the optics of a senior government-linked figure seeking healthcare abroad.
He was in an all-black outfit as he slowly walked through the streets of London, leaving netizens with mixed reactions.

@FRNjeruMbaya said:
“The last time we were sent videos of someone taking a ‘walk’ majuu, things didn’t end well.”
Others directed their frustration at the state of Kenya’s healthcare system.

“Quite a juxtaposed situation, you’re in govt for decades, instead of advocating for better healthcare, you loot to afford 1st world care, forgetting home, your family also resides there, when it’s too late you run to 1st world.”
@Senior_Kalulu said:
“These guys just never get it. Why not build a hospital here rather than flying with huge numbers of people to get treatment abroad with the possibility of returning as cargo???”

“Mzee should just retire; he is older than Raila. Why put an old man under so much pressure.”
