Being a Kenyan politician is a task only a few can manage. Many say it's a dirty job only a few people can manage to stomach it.

We take a look at Kenyan politicians nicknames and how they acquired them.

Uhuru Kenyatta- Jayden, Kamwana

Kamwana in Kikuyu means young man, the name was given to him because at the time he was vying for presidency he was younger than his predecessors.

Jayden is his latest nickname given to him by netizens for his free mode approach to life among other things.

Raila Odinga- Baba, Joshua

Baba is the Swahili word for father. Raila Odinga is best known by his political followers as Baba because they follow in his footsteps.

Unlike now, back in the day whatever he said stuck.

The nickname Joshua came during the 2017 election when he promised that like the Joshua of the bible he would take his 'people' to the promised land.

A promise he failed to keep.
