BABU OWINO’S NEXT MOVE: MP SET TO UNVEIL NEW PARTY IN NYANZA

By Jeff Kizzilah Digital Editor 

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino is set to unveil his new political party in the Nyanza region, in what could mark a significant new chapter in his political ambitions ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The planned launch is expected to put the spotlight on Babu Owino’s growing political strategy as he seeks to establish a distinct political vehicle and expand his influence beyond his Embakasi East constituency.

The move comes at a time when Kenya’s political landscape is rapidly shifting, with politicians and emerging movements positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 elections.

The Nyanza launch is likely to attract considerable political attention, particularly as the region remains an important electoral bloc and a key battleground for parties seeking to build a national coalition.

Babu Owino has built a strong political profile, particularly among young Kenyans, and the establishment of a new party could provide him with a platform to champion his political agenda while mobilising a new generation of voters.

Political observers will be watching closely to see the party’s name, leadership structure, ideology and electoral strategy, as well as whether it will seek alliances with existing political formations.

The launch could therefore become more than a party unveiling—it may signal Babu Owino’s broader political ambitions and his attempt to shape the conversation ahead of 2027.
