10 closely related politicians who don't see eye-to-eye in politics

Family dynamics can become incredibly complicated when political ambitions come into play. Family members have been at odds regarding politics, from brothers, spouses and even in-laws.

These individuals may have grown up together, shared childhood memories, and supported each other throughout their lives, but when it comes to political ideology and ambition, all bets are off.

Despite these challenges, however, the family members have found ways to navigate their political differences and maintain a sense of familial unity.

It's a delicate balance that requires a willingness to listen and compromise on both sides.

Here is a list of blood-related Kenyan politicians but differentiated by political affiliation.
