Dem Wa Facebook Declares 2027 Bid for Woman Representative Seat.
Rising social media star and comedian Millicent Ayuwa, better known as Dem Wa Facebook, has officially thrown her hat into the political ring. She has announced her plans to run for a Woman Representative position in the 2027 General Election.
The announcement, which has sparked widespread discussion online, comes from the 23-year-old content creator who first gained fame through her hilarious and relatable comedy skits on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Originally from the Luhya community, Ayuwa hails from Western Kenya (born in Butere and raised in Trans Nzoia) and has built a massive following with her unique humor, including her breakthrough appearance on Churchill Live, where her stage name "Dem Wa Facebook" became iconic.
While specific details such as the exact county she intends to contest in or her preferred political party have not been fully outlined in the initial reveal, the move marks a bold transition from digital entertainment to mainstream politics. Ayuwa's decision reflects a growing trend of influencers and entertainers entering Kenyan politics, leveraging their online popularity to connect with voters, particularly the youth and women.
Her supporters have already begun speculating about potential strongholds, with some suggesting Nairobi or her home turf in Western Kenya as possible bases. Online reactions range from enthusiastic backing—praising her relatability and fresh perspective—to humorous commentary and debates about her manifesto priorities.
Ayuwa, who has previously shared insights into her journey from plumbing work to internet fame and overcoming academic challenges, is expected to emphasize issues affecting everyday Kenyans, women, and youth in her campaign. No formal launch event or detailed platform has been confirmed yet, but the announcement has generated significant buzz across social media.
This step into politics could reshape conversations around representation, especially for young women in leadership. As 2027 approaches, all eyes will be on how Dem Wa Facebook builds her political profile and mobilizes her loyal fanbase.
