Across Nairobi and other counties, supporters of different factions have been turning out in numbers, creating a clear visual contrast in energy, organization and enthusiasm between competing groups.

During a recent rally, Babu Owino, the flamboyant Nairobi legislator, drew sharp comparisons between his faction and rival groups.

Speaking to his supporters, Owino emphasized the distinction between having a party and having the followers who truly support it.

“When you look at our rallies and when you look at the Linda Ground rallies, the difference is like the sky and the ground.

“Wako na chama lakini tuko na wenye chama. They have the party; we have the party followers,” he said.

Owino also reflected on his personal political journey, referencing the late party patriarch, Baba, and positioning himself as a natural successor.

“When Baba was alive, I used to say baada ya Baba ni Babu. I said it in his presence on several occasions. Baba was the last boss I had. Nobody is going to boss me again,” he declared.

Political analysts note that Owino’s remarks serve multiple purposes solidifying his connection with grassroots supporters, differentiating his faction from rivals, and signaling his ambitions for future leadership roles within the party.

The energy at his rally, filled with chants, applause, and visible enthusiasm, stood in stark contrast to rival events, highlighting the growing importance of mobilized followers over mere party structures.

Critics argue that his rhetoric borders on confrontational, but supporters see it as a declaration of empowerment and continuity with past leadership ideals.

Owino’s speech underscores the ongoing tension in Kenyan politics between institutional party authority and the influence of popular, grassroots-backed politicians.

As political activity ramps up ahead of elections, Owino’s rallies and statements are likely to continue shaping discussions about leadership, loyalty and the role of the people in determining the future of party politics in Kenya.
