Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o has congratulated her father on winning a second and final term as governor of Kenya’s Kisumu county.
Her father, Anyang Nyong’o, was announced winner on Wednesday following Kenya’s general elections on Tuesday.
The Oscar-winning actor was raised in Kenya, before moving to the United States.
Nyong’o, who won a best supporting actress Oscar for 12 Years a Slave, thanked the people of Kisumu for “their overwhelming support” to her father at the polls and wrote him an open letter.
Clearly, the father’s unconditional love and acceptance shaped how he raised his talented daughter. Here, in Lupita’s words, is what she learned.
