The Nairobi woman went viral after sharing clips of her inked tribute showing Owino’s face on her arm and another on her chest.
She reportedly spent about KSh 13,500 on the tattoos, a commitment that grabbed attention online and sparked debate about the lengths some supporters will go to show devotion.
Her decision to permanently mark her body with the legislator’s likeness made headlines and brought her straight into the spotlight.
Video clips circulating on Facebook showed her proudly displaying the detailed tattoos, declaring her admiration even though they have never met in person.
Babu Owino responded to the attention by resharing her video on social media and asking where she was located, signalling his awareness of the stunt and appreciation for her support.
His reaction fuelled further buzz, with many onlookers interpreting it as light‑hearted engagement with a passionate fan base.
The incident reflects Owino’s strong connection with younger voters and supporters, particularly among Gen Z, who have increasingly rallied around his political messaging and activism in Nairobi and beyond.
Recent polls have shown robust backing for Owino among young voters in the capital, underlining his appeal across digital platforms and at public events.
Reactions online have been mixed. Some praised the fan’s boldness and loyalty, saying it highlighted how politicians can inspire real emotional connection.
Others cautioned against idolising public figures or making permanent decisions based on personality politics.
The tattoo saga adds a personal, dramatic twist to Babu Owino’s public image and shows how deeply political loyalty can manifest in Kenya’s vibrant social media culture.
