Kenyan-Born Huldah Momanyi Wins U.S. Primary, Advances to November Election

Kenyan Huldah Momanyi has won the U.S. primary election for the State Representative seat in District 38A, advancing to the November general election.

Huldah Momanyi has secured victory in the U.S. primary election for the State Representative seat in Minnesota’s District 38A, earning her place on the ballot for the November general election.
The win marks an important moment for the Kenyan diaspora and African immigrant communities in the United States, as Momanyi continues her journey toward representing District 38A at the state level.
Her primary-election victory reflects growing civic participation by Kenyan Americans, many of whom have increasingly taken active roles in public service, community leadership, and American politics. Supporters have welcomed the result as an encouraging sign for diaspora communities seeking stronger representation and a voice in decisions affecting their local communities.
Momanyi will now shift her focus to the November general election, where voters in District 38A will decide who will serve as their State Representative.
As the campaign moves into its next phase, her achievement is likely to inspire more Kenyans living abroad—especially women and young people—to engage in leadership, register to vote, and consider public service as a way to create change.
The Kenyan diaspora will be watching closely as Huldah Momanyi prepares for the November race.
