Have you ever met your doppelganger? You’ve probably heard that out of the more than seven billion people on earth, chances are there is someone who looks like you. In Kenya, we’ve seen a number of people who resemble celebrities but have no relations. Today, we take a look at Kenyan celebrities and their look-alikes.

Margaret Kenyatta and Grace Elizabeth Mkabili

The First lady Margaret Kenyatta shares a striking resemblance with Grace Mkabili who hails from Voi. The two not only look alike but also have a similar skin tone, same height and both wear glasses. While speaking to The Standard, the 51-year-old activist said that people stop to ask her if she is related to the first family.

Ann Waiguru and Ann Mvurya

When Ann Mvurya first came into the limelight after winning University of Nairobi student elections, many mistook her for the Kiringaya Governor’s daughter. The two share the same name and skin complexion. Even Governor Waiguru acknowledged their resemblance when Ann Mvurya visited her office.

“It is said that everybody has at least one person whom they strongly resemble: Had an intriguing meeting with newly elected UNSA Chair Ann Mvurya,” said the governor.
