ODM Party Leader Oburu Oginga was in high spirits on November 4 as he welcomed National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and a group of other leaders to his home, breaking into a spontaneous dance that quickly captured the imagination of Kenyans online.
In footage shared on TikTok, a cheerful Oburu is seen standing between two suited guests in a well-furnished sitting room, sheer curtains framing sunlit windows behind them.

The mood is warm and relaxed, the kind of informal gathering that rarely makes the cameras, but this one clearly did.
The clip, which shows Oburu enjoying himself and dancing amid the company of his visitors, spread rapidly across social media.
For many Kenyans who had seen worrying rumours circulating about him in recent weeks, the video was a welcome sight.
The visit by Wetang’ula, who leads the National Assembly, alongside the other guests, signals that Oburu remains an active and respected figure in Kenya’s political circles.
The timing of the video adds a layer of significance. Weeks before this gathering, a death hoax targeting Oburu swept through social media, causing alarm among his supporters and within ODM.
The false claims forced members of his family and party officials to come out publicly and deny the rumours, assuring Kenyans that he was alive and well.
The dancing video appears to put any lingering doubts firmly to rest. Watch Oburu Oginga dance as he hosts Wetang’ula and other leaders:
