From Odisha’s Mayurbhanj to America, Odia boy helping Kamala Harris in US Presidential election

New Hampshire in America seems a long, long way from Odisha’s Mayurbhanj. However, Odia boy Samaya Sahu from the tribal-dominated district has reduced the distance between Odisha and America with his active participation in the ongoing presidential election.

The 21-year-old hailing from Mayurbhanj is a prominent figure in American politics. At such a young age, he played a huge role in Joe Biden becoming the 46th president of the United States. 

Now, the Odia lad is campaigning for Kamala Harris, the vice-president of the United States and the current Presidential candidate. He is a member of the Democratic Party and is playing a crucial role in leading the Democratic students’ wing in the election campaign. 

Born to Manas Sahu, Samaya is settled in Nassau, New Hampshire with his family.

The family owns a restaurant and has attained US citizenship. Political campaigning and strategy were his natural calling. He began his political journey during his High School days. He was first elected as the National Chairman of the High School Democrat of America.
