Tears in Babu Owino’s Supporters’ Eyes as Details Emerge He Will Contest Nairobi Governor Seat

A fresh political storm has erupted in Nairobi after a bold statement about Babu Owino’s 2027 gubernatorial ambitions left supporters with plenty to think about.

The remarks have raised questions about whether the outspoken Embakasi East MP will eventually appear on the ballot as a candidate for Nairobi governor.

Bakita Esther sparked the debate after declaring, “Sorry to hurt your emotions, but Babu Owino will not be on the governor ballot for Nairobi in 2027.”

The statement has attracted attention because Babu Owino has remained a prominent figure in Nairobi politics, with many Kenyans watching his next political move closely.

For supporters who hope to see him contest the Nairobi gubernatorial seat, the declaration could be difficult to accept. However, the remarks alone do not establish what will happen when the 2027 General Election arrives.

Nairobi’s gubernatorial contest is expected to attract intense political competition, with aspirants likely to face questions about leadership, development, service delivery and their ability to win the confidence of voters across the county.

Babu Owino has built a strong public profile through his political activities and outspoken statements. This has made discussions about his future ambitions a subject of interest among Kenyans who follow the country’s political developments.

The latest remarks have therefore added another layer of uncertainty to the conversation surrounding the Nairobi governor race.

Many people were left talking, while the incident sparked reactions online as political observers considered the possible implications of the statement. Supporters appeared divided, with some likely to defend the MP’s ambitions while others may question whether he can secure the political support needed to mount a successful campaign.

What happened next surprised many as the statement continued to fuel debate over who could emerge as Nairobi’s strongest contenders in 2027.

Nevertheless, the final list of candidates will depend on the nomination process and the decisions made by the relevant political parties and aspirants.

As the political temperature rises, Kenyans will be watching closely for further developments. Do you think Babu Owino will contest the Nairobi governor seat in 2027 despite Bakita Esther’s remarks?
