Winnie Odinga, the last born daughter of Raila Odinga, is a calm and collected woman who prefers to keep a low profile away from the limelight.

Despite her father's high-profile status, Winnie has chosen to focus on her life and family, rather than seeking attention on social media.

On November 7, 2019, Winnie was spotted casting her vote in the Kibra by-election, demonstrating her commitment to exercising her right as a voter.

When asked about her role in her father's life, Winnie revealed that she has worked as his bodyguard, briefcase carrier, travel companion, and even driver if needed.

"I WORK FOR MY DAD. I HAVE WORKED FOR HIM FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. I'M HIS BODYGUARD, HIS BRIEFCASE CARRIER, TRAVEL COMPANION OR EVEN DRIVER IF NEED BE," she said in an interview with the Standard.
