Huldah Momanyi, a remarkable Kenyan woman from Nyamira County, recently etched her name in history by winning the Minnesota House of Representatives seat for District 38A in the United States.
Her achievement has sparked celebrations both in Kenya and across the globe, as she continues to inspire many through her dedication and resilience.
As part of her visit to Kenya following her victory, Momanyi attended the country's Jamhuri Day celebrations on December 12, 2024, where she expressed her gratitude for the warm reception she received.
Dressed in the vibrant colors of the Kenyan flag, Momanyi was one of the special guests at the Jamhuri Day event, which marks Kenya's independence and the formation of the Republic.
Reflecting on her visit, Momanyi shared her honor at being back in Kenya, where she was welcomed by enthusiastic crowds and heartfelt tributes.
She noted that the warm welcome at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) had been overwhelming and unexpected, making her feel deeply appreciated by her fellow Kenyans.
During her time at the event, Momanyi was asked about President William Ruto’s leadership.
She took a diplomatic approach, noting that while she wasn’t in the business of rating his leadership, she believed the president genuinely had the interests of the people at heart.
She commended Ruto for his efforts to address the concerns of the citizens, highlighting his commitment to serving the nation.
Her comments were well-received by many Kenyans, who admired her balanced and thoughtful response.
In recognition of her achievement, President William Ruto also acknowledged Momanyi's historic victory during the Jamhuri Day celebrations.
He praised her for breaking barriers and representing the Kenyan diaspora in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The president’s gesture was a reflection of the pride Kenya felt in her success.
Momanyi’s victory in the U.S. elections is not just a personal triumph but a significant milestone for the Kenyan community abroad.
Her success is a testament to the power of determination and the potential for individuals to make a difference on the global stage.
As she continues to serve in her role in Minnesota, Momanyi’s story will undoubtedly inspire many more Kenyans, especially women, to pursue their dreams and take on leadership roles both locally and internationally.
