Wanga, a prominent national figure since her election as Homa Bay County Woman MP in 2013, has consistently appeared in polls and mainstream media. At age 43, youth is on her side, and her next challenge will be navigating Kenya’s often-treacherous political terrain with precision and strategy. Her potential candidacy for the deputy president in the next general election began making headlines long before a possible vacancy arose due to the impeachment motion against DP Gachagua. Known for her assertiveness and readiness to take on national leadership, Wanga's rise has been swift. If nominated, Wanga would become Kenya's first female deputy president and the second leader from Nyanza to hold the position, following Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.
