His world famous daughter had campaigned for her father months before the election took place.

The “12 Years a Slave” actress in a 2.49 minute-long video shared via her Facebook page, beckoned on electorates of the state to vote for her father through an impassioned appeal. The video has been viewed over 300,000 times and shared more than 800 times on Facebook.

Although the actress had earlier said she wouldn’t be able to make it down for the election due to a new movie she is working on, she told her father, “I support your bid to be governor of Kisumu county…you can count on my prayers and my support from afar”.

Lupita must be a happy person now that her father has emerged victorious but she has not made any official comment yet about her father’s victory.

She is currently on set for the upcoming Marvel Movie, Black Panther.
