‘Come back home’: Junet tells Babu Owino

Suna East MP Junet Mohammed has urged Embakasi East MP Babu Owino to return to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), amid reported tensions within the Linda Mwananchi Movement.

Junet made the appeal during a roadside rally held as President William Ruto toured Migori County, where he also welcomed the President’s growing engagement with ODM and called on residents of Nyanza to support Ruto’s re-election bid.

“My brother Babu Owino, please come back home and return to ODM. We will build the Orange party together,” Junet said.

The Suna East MP said Babu should consider returning to ODM if he intends to pursue the Nairobi governor’s seat in 2027.

“If you want to be governor, come back to ODM,” he said.

Junet’s remarks come a day after Babu said he would scale back his participation in Linda Mwananchi rallies as he concentrates on his campaign for the Nairobi governorship.
