Babu owino has been on the political scene for a long time, since his days at Nairobi University. e officially entered the national political scene after clinching the embakasi east MP seat.
During a previous interview, Manyora identified Babu as one of Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance Party's precious politicians. Manyora believes Babu's stars are aligned to make him the next Luo nation ruler after Opposition leader Raila Odinga.
He denied the possibility of aggressive lawyer Miguna Miguna succeeding Raila with his mission of liberating the Luo community.

"The notion that the Luo's leadership is up for grabs, as Miguna perceives it, is incorrect. Babu appears to be the heir to the throne, as evidenced by a vote among the Luo people today. "Miguna will receive nothing," Manyora stated.
He said there is a high possibility that babu owino will win the gubernatorial seat for nairobi county if he contested.
"Many things are in his favour. Being Luo, youthful and resonating with the youth just like Sakaja and being an ODM member makes him highly ranked. There may be changes that could happen and make it hard for him to ascend to City Hall or even to catapult him to an even higher position," the analyst explained.
"Sakaja cannot match Babu Owino in 2027 because he has some Luhya in him, and if Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi is also a Luhya, vies, the votes will be divided. On the other hand, Babu is married to a Kikuyu wife, and this is an advantage too. The question should not be on who will win the governor if Babu vies. It is obvious he will win," he opined.
