“ODM Ticket or Not — Why Babu Owino’s Path to Nairobi Governorship Looks Unstoppable”

In Nairobi’s heated political arena, one name keeps sparking debates, hope, and fear in equal measure — Babu Owino.

Love him or hate him, Babu has mastered the art of commanding attention. And now, a fiery remark from his close ally has reignited speculation about his 2027 plans:

👉 “Babu akipewa hiyo ticket ya ODM… Babu atakuwa Governor. Na ata asipopewa, anaenda kusumbua,” Jalas boldly declared.

This isn’t empty political banter. It reflects a growing reality: Babu Owino is not just another MP — he’s a disruptor, a mobilizer, and possibly Nairobi’s governor-in-waiting.

ODM Ticket = Clear Path
ODM has always dominated Nairobi politics. If Babu secures the party ticket, analysts say he would instantly become the front-runner. His fiery speeches, strong university roots, and loyal youth base make him a formidable contender.

No Ticket? No Problem!
But here’s where it gets interesting — even if ODM denies him the ticket, Babu could still shake the city’s political ground. Running as an independent or under another party, he has the power to split votes, create chaos, and maybe even pull off a shock victory.

After all, Nairobi loves disruptors — and Babu knows how to play that game better than most.

With 2027 fast approaching, the big question remains: Is Nairobi ready for Governor Babu Owino?
