Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has once again become the center of attention—this time, not for politics or bling, but for something more personal. He’s asking for help to lose weight, and Kenyans can’t stop talking about it.
In a recent social media post, Sonko surprised his followers by admitting he wants to shed some kilos. He posted a full-body photo that clearly showed his bulging stomach and said it’s time for change. But what caught people’s attention even more was his special request—he’s looking for a female gym trainer to guide his fitness journey
The post quickly went viral, attracting mixed reactions. Some Kenyans applauded him for being honest about his health goals and taking the first step toward change. Others, however, turned the moment into comedy. Memes flooded social media, with jokes flying about his belly and the female trainer “requirements.”
Still, many people saw it as a fresh side of Sonko—less drama, more determination. For someone known for flashy cars, gold chains, and unpredictable politics, this fitness journey could be a new chapter. Some fans even offered workout tips and connected him with professional trainers in the comments.
But as always with Sonko, there was controversy. His mention of a female trainer raised eyebrows, with critics suggesting it may be more about flair than fitness. Others brushed off the comment, saying it’s just Sonko being Sonko.
Despite the mixed views, one thing is clear—Sonko knows how to grab attention. Whether this ends in a serious body transformation or just another viral moment, it has put him back in the spotlight.
Kenyans are now watching to see if he follows through, and maybe even gets that six-pack he joked about.
