Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga Tops Google Searches In 2025

Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga was the most searched public figure in Kenya in 2025, according to Google’s Year in Search report released Thursday.

Odinga also ranked second among the most searched news topics. His online influence was so strong that many Kenyans looked up the meaning of β€œenigma,” a term often linked to his political identity. Odinga passed away on October 15 this year.

The report reflects what Kenyans were most curious about throughout 2025, covering politics, sports, culture, food, and global events.

One of the biggest national interests was the Social Health Authority (SHA), with many seeking information on how the new health system works.

International players also drew interest, including Slovenian striker Benjamin Ε eΕ‘ko and Portuguese footballer Diogo Jota, who passed away in 2025.
