Babu Owino, the dynamic Member of Parliament for Embakasi East, has risen as the people’s favorite for the Nairobi gubernatorial race under the ODM banner. A steadfast ally of ODM leader Raila Odinga, Babu’s commitment to philanthropy and prioritizing the people’s welfare has won him widespread admiration, particularly among Nairobi’s youth and women. His rise symbolizes hope and transformation for the marginalized.
Hailing from the Nyalenda slums in Kisumu, Babu intimately understands the struggles of the underprivileged. His inspiring journey from humble beginnings to political prominence has made him a relatable and trusted figure. Unlike leaders who focus on empty rhetoric, Babu has consistently championed impactful initiatives in education, opposed oppressive legislation, and worked tirelessly to improve lives. These efforts have earned him a reputation as one of Nairobi’s most effective legislators.
As a proactive and hands-on leader, Babu Owino has turned Embakasi East into a model of progress, implementing projects that tackle social inequality head-on. His approach resonates deeply with Nairobi residents, over three-quarters of whom now back his bid for governor. By staying connected to the everyday struggles of ordinary citizens and presenting a vision of transformative leadership, Babu has firmly established himself as a true advocate for the people.
Conversely, the incumbent governor, Johnson Sakaja, is facing growing discontent. Allegations of corruption, mismanagement, and prioritizing personal luxury over public welfare have sparked widespread criticism. Extravagant expenditures and reports of questionable overseas dealings have cast doubt on Sakaja’s leadership, with Nairobians demanding accountability.
Dr. Babu Owino offers a stark contrast. With a proven track record of integrity, grassroots engagement, and progressive development, he represents the hope for a better Nairobi. For many, Babu is not only the ideal leader to steward Nairobi’s resources but also a potential future national leader. The call for transformative governance is clear, and Nairobi is ready to rally behind Dr. Babu Owino’s vision for a brighter future.
