When Raila and Lupita met in Kampala
In October 2016, during the premiere of the film Queen of Katwe in Kampala, Kenya’s opposition leader Raila Odinga met with actress Lupita Nyong’o.
The event celebrated Nyong’o’s role in the film, which portrays the life of Ugandan chess prodigy Phiona Mutesi. Raila Odinga attended alongside Nyong’o’s father, Professor Anyang’ Nyong’o, who is also a prominent Kenyan politician.
At the premiere, Raila Odinga was seen dancing with Ugandan women, showcasing his enthusiasm for the event.
Dressed in a blue suit and matching tie, he joined the dance floor, much to the delight of the attendees.
These moments highlight the camaraderie and cultural exchange among the distinguished guests at the Queen of Katwe premiere in Kampala.
