ODM leader and Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga has received a visit from his sister, Wenwa Akinyi, who shared a cheerful photograph of the two siblings together at his home.
Akinyi shared the photograph on Wednesday, November 11, giving Kenyans a glimpse of the veteran politician as he continues his recovery following a challenging period marked by health concerns.
In the picture, the two siblings are seen smiling warmly at the camera. Oburu is dressed in a colourful short sleeved shirt, dark sunglasses and a flat cap, while Akinyi wears a bright turquoise outfit, sunglasses and a colourful scarf.
Akinyi accompanied the photograph with a simple but affectionate caption: "Visiting my dear bro at his home."
The visit comes after a difficult few months for the Siaya Senator, who was reportedly admitted to Nairobi Hospital several times in 2026. According to reports cited by TUKO, close aides confirmed that he spent time in intensive care during one of his hospital stays, although party officials maintained that his condition was stable.
Oburu also travelled to the United Kingdom for further medical assessment before returning to Kenya.
His health concerns were further highlighted on October 15, when he missed the first anniversary commemoration of his late brother Raila Odinga's death. Doctors had reportedly advised him to observe strict bed rest and avoid public engagements.
By early November, however, Oburu had been recuperating at home and receiving visitors. He had also indicated that he was growing stronger and hoped to return to active political life soon.
The latest photograph shared by Akinyi offers another public glimpse of the senator during his recovery. It also attracted warm reactions from social media users, several of whom expressed happiness at seeing the siblings together.
Some followers praised Oburu, while others commented on the resemblance between the two.
For now, the photograph provides a heartwarming family moment amid a challenging period for the veteran politician, with supporters continuing to hope for his full recovery.
