Outspoken political enthusiast and Raila Odinga supporter Nuru Okanga has confirmed that he is still in secondary school, currently enrolled in Form Two. Speaking in an interview with Oga Obinna on Monday, September 29, 2025, Okanga revealed that he expects to complete his studies and sit for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in 2028.
“I have not yet finished secondary school, I am currently in Form Two and still pushing on. I truly joined high school, and at some point I left one school and transferred to another,” he said.
School Transfers and Personal Life
Okanga, who scored 320 marks in his KCPE in 2023, explained that he transitioned directly into secondary school. However, he disclosed that he changed schools due to disagreements with a principal – an issue that arose after both of them expressed interest in the same female teacher.
The mathematics teacher, whom Okanga openly described as his partner, remains in a relationship with him. To avoid further conflict, he made the decision to transfer to another school.
Despite speculation, Okanga declined to reveal the name of his current institution, citing concerns that government interference could disrupt his education.
Focus on Education and Politics
Okanga emphasized his commitment to completing secondary school while simultaneously building his political career. He has set his sights on contesting for a Member of County Assembly (MCA) seat in 2027, expressing confidence that he will balance politics and academics successfully.
“But I will sit for my final high school examination in 2028. Those who will want to see my results can come and check them then. By that time, I will already be an MCA because I will have won the seat in 2027,” he said.
A Unique Journey
Nuru Okanga’s revelation underscores the unusual path he has taken—pursuing education, politics, and personal commitments all at once. While controversies have surrounded his journey, his determination to complete school and enter politics reflects his ambition to shape both his future and that of his community.
