Former Nominated Senator Millicent Omanga has finally revealed her political direction, signalling a clear break from the current administration after a period of relative silence. Her recent speech at a Kikuyu ruracio in Mt Kenya confirmed her intentions ahead of the 2027 elections.
She spoke on Saturday, February 7, 2026, after former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua introduced her during the traditional dowry payment ceremony for Ann and Aloise Kinyanjui, which drew political and community figures.
Omanga began by acknowledging the support she received in previous elections.
“Mimi vile His Excellency amesema naitwa Millicent Omanga. Mimi nilisimama kule Nairobi 2022. Na mimi nafuraishwa sana na hii jamii ya mlima. Kwa sababu mlinipatia kura elfu mia sita kule Nairobi. Mlifanya kazi nzuri sana. Na nawaambia asante,” she said.
Her remarks quickly turned political, signalling her continued ambitions ahead of 2027.
“So raudi hii pia, kwa sababu hazikutosha, raudi hii 2027, bado niko hapo. Na raudi hii si tuko macousins wote? Sasa hamtakuwa nyinyi peke yenu. Macousins ata wetu wa Kisii,” she said.

Omanga pointed to how politicians unite supporters across regions.
“Si mumeona Matiang’i ametuleta pamoja? Anakuja kushikana na cousins wa hapa Mt Kenya. Na mmeona yule wa Eastern. Yule cousin, Bwana Kalonzo Musyoka. Si mmeona pia ameleta watu wake pamoja?” she asked.
She positioned herself as a voice for Nairobi women and grassroots projects.
“Na yeye anakuja, pale Nairobi sisi wote tujaze na Women Rep pale ni Mama Nairobi ni Mama Miradi, ni Millicent Omanga.”

Omanga also addressed economic and governance concerns directly, implicitly criticising State House.
“Kuna mahoteli nyiingi zimefunguliwa na zitafunguliwa. Na mimi nawaambia watu wetu, Hoteli ikifunguliwa msikatae. Mwende mkule kwa sababu ni pesa yenu ya ushuru. Si mnaskia wabunge wenu wanashinda State House? Kila mtu kila wiki anapata Millioni Mbili. Na mwakikishe wawe wanawaletea chakula hapa kwa ground. Kwa sababu wanatoa statehouse.”
“Na nikisema hivo nasema kama mtu anajua. Na mimi Milicent Omanga nilikuwa kule. Na sisi kwa jamii yetu tunasema ukiona samaki imeruka juu kutoka kwa maji inasema kuna mamba inauma pale chini, mnafaa mwamini.”
Omanga later shared photos on social media, alongside former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. She captioned the post:
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing. A colourful ruracio for Ann & Aloice, graciously shared with H.E Rigathe as love, culture, and blessings unite. #MamaMiradi #MamaKanairo #MamaNiMjamo.”
The event fuels speculation about her 2027 political plans. Omanga has formally declared interest in the Nairobi Woman Representative seat and earlier asked Kenyans which party she should join.
