BABU OWINO HINTS AT WORKING WITH NDINDI NYORO FOR THE PRESIDENCY

Embakasi East MP, Babu Owino has projected chances of merging with his Kiharu counterpart Ndindi Nyoro, for the 2027 presidential bid.

During a Hot 96 Breakfast interview on Monday, 21 April, he pointed out a list of his most preferred political figures such as ; Kalonzo Musyoka, Edwin Sifuna, James Orengo, Eugene Wamalwa, Gladys Wanga, Irungu Kang’ata, and George Natembeya.

Among those, he specifically pointed out, Ndindi Nyoro , terming him as a high performer, this follows ,him being ranked by Infotrak as the second most performing MP after Babu Owino.

"It all depends on the decisions we make together with my brother Ndindi, who is also a high performer. If we decide to pursue the presidency today, with Ndindi as my deputy, we could do it without even needing to hire agents—asubuhi mapema!" he remarked. "Ultimately, it's about aligning with capable individuals."

Owino went on blasting Nairobi government, Johnson Sakaja, who of late is considered as Babu's major rival. Babu accused Sakaja of misappropriating World Bank funds aimed at developing roads in Nairobi.

"The World Bank did release Ksh.380 million to improve our roads, yet contractors have abandoned the sites. Nothing is happening in these constituencies. The funds have been squandered. Who is accountable? The governor of Nairobi," he retorted.

The vocal law maker expressed his 2027 hopes stating his overqualification allows him compete for any seat .

"There are opportunities everywhere. My supporters are passionately urging me to run for president in 2027. I believe I'm more than qualified for all these roles," he said.

Babu also admitted that Ruto beat former Prime minister, Raila Odinga in 2022, because of his resonating with the common mwananchi , but expressed that this very person, Ruto , has disappointed Kenyans and it would be very difficult voting him back.

"I am truly disappointed because this is a president who had the potential to be the best in Kenya, having risen from a humble background. This is the person, when he won 2022; I knew that this person had won 2027. But as we move towards 2027, I know that he's losing it because of the obvious things," he stated.

He continued clarifying on his relationship with his party, ODM , and Raila Odinga by stating that he still pledges loyalty to Raila and he will leave ODM only if they won't be needing his services any more.
