Embakasi East Member of Parliament (MP) Babu Owino now says he is the only one capable of beating President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election.

Speaking at the Legacy Church in Westlands, Babu confidently confirmed that he will be on the ballot in the upcoming elections; he, however, did not specify which seat he was going to vie for.

He outlined his electoral ambitions, stating that he was overqualified to be Nairobi Governor and that he was the only candidate who would beat Ruto squarely even before elections.

The MP expressed optimism, noting that while he is yet to make a firm decision on the seat he will contest for, only God can decide and guide him on it.

He went on to state the virtues of great leadership, stating that it is about service to the people and not just the electoral process.

“Leaders are chosen by God. As of now, we are overqualified to be the president of Kenya. It is only Babu Owino who can beat Ruto squarely, even a day before the elections naeza mwangusha. We are also overqualified to be the governor of Nairobi, and even an MP but the most important thing is service to the people; it is not just about the electoral process.

“What do you do after being elected? After being elected as Babu, my intention is to work for the people because I have gone without food, I know what it takes to lack food,i have been there myself,” he said.

The vocal legislator also took a swipe at leaders fond of neglecting electorates after being voted for, encouraging citizens to vote for leaders who have a proven record of working for the people.

“some become dealers, others leaders. Some have a mission to destroy the nation, while others are driven to transform lives. That is why it’s important to choose leaders who work for the people, Babu added.

He also encouraged the youth to contest for elective positions in the upcoming election.
