Embakasi East legislator Babu Owino backed Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka for president on Monday, describing him as the strongest candidate to defeat William Ruto in 2027. The ODM member, who opposes his party's alignment with the current administration, told more than 700 university students at the WPF Karen headquarters that the upcoming vote will mirror Kenya's 2002 election when voters ousted the ruling party. He praised Musyoka's dedication during previous campaigns, and Musyoka urged young people to register in large numbers to influence the ballot outcome.
The former vice president invited Owino to join Wiper amid apparent tensions with ODM leadership. Musyoka pledged to reform several government programs if elected, targeting the Housing Levy and Social Health Authority first.
