In a recent statement, Minority Whip in the National Assembly, Millie Mabona, cautioned politicians against relying on online political supporters, asserting that this led to losses for many in the November 27, 2025, by-elections.

• Millie Mabona, an ODM Member of Parliament, specifically stated that the perceived online sentiment often misrepresents ground reality, citing the Kasipul by-election where the ODM candidate, Boyd Were, was predicted to lose online but ultimately won.
• The warning follows ODM party victories in Magarini, Kasipul, and Ugunja by-elections, though they lost in Kariobangi North to DCP's MCA candidate David Warui.
• Mabona emphasized not to "base your analysis of politics mainly on online supporters or online commentators," as they can be misleading.
