Babu Owino: Kenya Moja faction has over 70 MPs
By Arnold Ngure, September 4, 2025Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has revealed that the Kenya Moja faction has increased its numbers and now has over 70 legislators on its side.
Speaking during a breakfast show at Kameme TV on Thursday, September 4, 2025, Owino stated that while Kenya Moja chiefly consists of youthful politicians, elderly people were equally invited to join in to liberate the country from corruption and bad governance.
“We have almost 70 legislators who are currently associated with the Kenya Moja faction. While a majority of us are youthful, it does not mean that others are excluded from joining us,” Owino said.
Rapidly growing
“This group is rapidly growing, and it will surprise many people because the youth form over 65 per cent of the population.”
Owino equally hinted at joining forces with the Rigathi Gachagua-led United Opposition to ensure that President William Ruto is made a one-term president in 2027.
“The Kenya Moja faction is a group of like-minded politicians who are brought together with the goal of fighting for the rights of the masses just like the United Opposition is doing,” Owino remarked.
“In the future, we are praying that the entire opposition be united so that they can field a single candidate to ensure William Ruto becomes a one-term president. People can start from various factions but later come together,” he added.
Join forces
He disclosed that the agenda of the United Opposition and theirs were similar and that it would be decided when the right time comes on how to join forces and form the next government.
“Those of us in the Kenya Moja are about ensuring that all those promises given by the Ruto administration are fulfilled. We are urging all the other opposition leaders to join us in ensuring that the issues of abductions and extrajudicial killings come to an end, and that the young people get employment,” Owino said.
Some of the known members of Kenya Moja are Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi, Kitutu Chache MP Antony Kibagendi, and Kitutu Masaba MP Clive Gesairo.
