Nikita Kering had already taken over the stage. Then Swat Mtoto wa Eunice appeared and changed everything.

The Kenyan singer had revelers at Ngong Racecourse on their feet during the Peaches & Cream event, delivering energetic dance moves before the moment nobody saw coming.

As Ethic’s throwback hit “Lamba Lolo” started playing, the music suddenly stopped.

A giant screen showed Swat apparently calling Nikita, jokingly questioning why she was enjoying the song without him.

Then he walked onto the stage.

The crowd exploded.

Nikita and Swat performed the Gengetone classic together as thousands of fans sang along word for word, turning the Nairobi event into one huge singalong.

Nikita later shared clips from the unforgettable moment on social media, simply captioning them, “A little time travel.”

The performance came shortly after another major moment for Nikita. She won Best Female in East Africa at the 2026 AFRIMMA Awards, taking her total AFRIMMA wins to five.

Nairobi definitely got its throwback moment.

Esther Passaris has pulled out of the Makadara MP race, saying Nairobi residents convinced her to stay in the Woman Representative seat.

The Nairobi Woman Representative revealed that her decision followed consultations with residents, ODM party leaders and opinion polls.

Passaris said her plan to contest Makadara was genuine. But as she moved around Nairobi, she claims residents kept asking the same question:

“What about us? Don’t we matter? We don’t want to lose you as our Woman Rep, Mama.”

That feedback, she said, changed the direction of her 2027 political plans.

Passaris will now defend her Nairobi Woman Representative seat for a third term in the 2027 General Election. She formally announced the bid on August 22, even launching a campaign song.

Her Makadara ambitions had emerged in February when she said the MP position would give her an opportunity to contribute more directly to the constituency’s development.

She had reportedly settled on Makadara because the seat was expected to become vacant, with incumbent MP George Aladwa linked to a Nairobi gubernatorial bid.

Now Passaris says the message from Nairobi has become clear.

She is staying put.

She also vowed to keep the Nairobi Woman Rep seat within the ODM and broad-based coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.

Raila Odinga’s life could soon become a six-part documentary series.

His daughter, Winnie Odinga, has revealed plans to turn the late Kenyan political giant’s life story into a major screen project.

Winnie said she wants to create a six-part series covering Raila’s political journey, personal life and experiences away from the cameras.

And there’s more.

She revealed that she personally recorded conversations with her father over the years. Those recordings could provide rare material for the project.

Winnie also hopes the documentary could eventually find a home on a major streaming platform such as Netflix, although no deal has been confirmed.

Beyond the screen, she is also considering writing a memoir about her life with Raila, including memories from some of Kenya’s most defining political moments.

Raila died in October 2025 after decades at the centre of Kenyan politics.

Now, his daughter wants to tell the story behind the politician, using memories and recordings that could offer a more personal look at the man millions knew simply as Baba.
