Embakasi East legislator Babu Owino has won the hearts of Gen-Zs. This is after the firebrand two-term MP took to the streets in solidarity with the Gen-Zs.
Babu Owino is a vocal critic of the government. Just like Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, he has vehemently opposed the broad-based government arrangement which saw some of the ODM diehards co-opted into the government.
ODM Party Leader Raila Odinga betrayed the cause of the liberation struggle, when he chose to work closely with President William Ruto.
Raila's dalliance with government created a political vaccum in the opposition side.
Gen-Zs marked their first anniversary after the anti-2024/25 Finance Bill protest, by storming the streets of Nairobi and other major towns in Kenya.
The 2024 Gen-Zs protests was one of its kind as youths managed to manoeuvre their way to Parliament, which is considered among the most protected zones.
President Ruto was coerced to thrash the 2024/2025 Finance Bill and send the entire Cabinet packing.
In the new cabinet arrangement, he sneaked in 4 ODM stalwarts to appease Raila.
Babu Owino is eyeing the gubernatorial seat and is most likely to oust Johnson Sakaja in 2027 general elections.
Babu rose to limelight during his university days, where he was considered as the Mugabe of UON owing to his long tenure as the SONU leader.
He holds two bachelor degrees. He is a graduate of actuarial science and law.
He was recently admitted to the bar as an advocate.
