Holiday observed in Kenya
For the Illinois holiday, see Barack Obama Day.
Not to be confused with Barack Obama's birthday, which is August 4.
Obama Day was a holiday celebrated in Kenya in November 2008 in honor of Barack Obama's victory in the 2008 United States presidential election.[1][2]
Shortly after the U.S. election result was announced, Kenyan president Mwai Kibaki declared the holiday because Obama was of Kenyan descent.[3]
