Geoffrey Mosiria Accuses Babu Owino of Sabotaging Sifuna

Geoffrey Mosiria has alleged that Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has accepted financial backing to undermine Edwin Sifuna's political ambitions.

Mosiria criticized Owino's personal life, claiming that his wife and children are facing difficulties, arguing that a leader who cannot manage his household is unfit to lead Nairobi. This rivalry between the two leaders dates back to their student days at the University of Nairobi.

Babu Owino is known for his vocal support of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, having publicly reaffirmed his backing for Sifuna's presidential bid, stating he supports him "100%". Their political alliance has been characterized by mutual support, with Owino recalling moments when Sifuna sought his advice during internal party tensions, which solidified their bond.

Despite Mosiria's claims, Owino has emphasized that there is no rift between him and Sifuna, urging opposition leaders to unite behind Sifuna's presidential aspirations. Recently, Owino has been pivoting his focus towards his own gubernatorial campaign for Nairobi, which has led to reduced participation in other political activities, including the Linda Mwananchi initiative. This context is crucial as it highlights the dynamics within the opposition, especially following the controversial removal of Sifuna as ODM Secretary-General, a decision that both Owino and Sifuna have criticized as unlawful.
