Acting ODM Party leader, Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga, on Thursday, October 30, held a meeting with Embakasi East MP Babu Owino.

“Hon. Babu Owino symbolizes the vibrant energy and determination of our youth. He has a promising future, and we are together,” he said.
The meeting comes a day after Oburu assured Babu of the party’s ticket for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat in 2027 if he wins in the nominations.

Oburu urged Babu not to walk away from the party, assuring him that he will not be denied the ticket since he has been a loyal member of ODM.

“I don’t see any issue with Babu Owino. I have heard he is troubled, thinking ODM might block his bid for the Nairobi governor seat, but I don’t understand why he feels that way. If he wins the nominations, there’s absolutely no reason he wouldn’t get the ticket.
“He shouldn’t walk away. We want the Nairobi governor race to be open and competitive. There is no need for him to panic; we wouldn’t deny him the ticket, especially since he is one of us and has been a loyal ODM member for years,” he said.
Oburu also said he will hold a meeting with the Embakasi East lawmaker to personally assure him of the party’s support.
“We are looking for strong, visionary, and dynamic leaders, and Babu fits that. If he earns it through the proper process, ODM will back him.
“I am confident I will reach him. I have already sent people to set up a meeting. I will speak to him personally and assure him there’s no need to worry; everything is still on track,” he added.
