Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has been crowned as a Luo elder and installed as the leader of the Nairobi Chapter of the Luo Council of Elders.
The traditional ceremony which took place in Nairobi, reportedly brought together members of the Luo Council of Elders, as well as representative leaders from all 85 wards in Nairobi County.
During the event, Owino said the endorsement gives him the mandate to reach out, build friendships, and seek support from all communities in Nairobi as he pursues his ambition to run for the Nairobi governorship in the 2027 General Election.
"The elders have set me free to develop friendship and seek the support of all the other communities in this city ahead of the gubernatorial race," the fiery legislature said.
