Bad News For Babu Owino As Joho Snubs Him In 2032 Successor List

Bad news has hit Embakasi East MP Babu Owino after his name was missing from the list of leaders revealed by CS Hassan Joho as potential successors of President William Ruto in 2032.

Joho, speaking on Wednesday, named only four leaders he believes can take over from Ruto.

“In 2032, if it is not Hassan Joho, then it is Simba Arati. If it is not Simba Arati, then it is Kimani Ichung’wah, and if it is not Kimani, then it is Gladys Wanga,” Joho said.

Babu Owino’s name was nowhere in the list, a move many see as a big snub to the youthful MP.

This comes as a major blow to Babu Owino, who had already made an early declaration that he will run for the Nairobi Gubernatorial Seat in 2027.

Babu Owino also declared that after Nairobi, he will vie for the presidential seat in 2032 under his new party, The Mwananchi Party (TMP).

His supporters had expected Joho to include him among the future leaders, considering his huge following among the youth.

Supporters of Babu Owino reacted angrily online, saying Joho deliberately ignored him because he fears his rising popularity.

“Joho is scared of Babu. Babu is the real future president,” one supporter said.

Others, however, mocked Babu Owino, saying he is not yet at the level of Joho, Arati, Ichung’wah and Wanga.

“Babu should first win Nairobi before dreaming of State House,” another viewer said.

One thing is clear Babu Owino has been left out, and the 2032 race is getting hotter.
