Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has responded after remarks by Dennis Onyango, a longtime aide to the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
In a televised interview on Sunday night, June 7, 2026, Onyango claimed that Raila viewed Babu as a fast-rising figure whose growing political influence could unsettle ODM’s internal hierarchy and succession structure.
He alleged that Raila felt the MP was advancing too quickly within the party, potentially creating tension among long-serving members.
The comments triggered reactions in political circles, with Babu issuing a response on his official Facebook page on Monday, June 8, 2026.
