How Babu Owino Reacted After Being Accorded a Heroic Reception in Dagoretti North

Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has delivered a powerful political message after receiving what supporters described as a heroic reception in Dagoretti North, one of Nairobi’s most politically vibrant constituencies.

The outspoken legislator used the moment to rally residents behind a broader national call for justice, dignity, and people-centred leadership, declaring that the era of political silence and submission was over.

In a statement shared after the gathering, Babu said that the energy from Dagoretti North reflected a growing national awakening.

From Kawangware, one of the area’s most populous neighbourhoods, to the rest of Kenya, he said citizens were becoming more conscious of their power and more determined to defend it.

For Babu, the large crowds that turned out to welcome him were not just celebrating an individual politician, but expressing frustration with a system that has left many Kenyans struggling with rising costs of living, unemployment, and shrinking opportunities.

Dagoretti North has long been known for its strong grassroots political culture, where leaders are judged by their connection to ordinary people rather than their proximity to power.
