During the party’s 20th anniversary celebrations in Mombasa, a group of youths publicly demanded that prominent ODM member Babu Owino appear and address them.
The call came in the middle of a speech by ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna. The youths’ vocal insistence highlighted their desire for more direct engagement with Babu Owino, who is seen as a key figure among the party’s younger supporters.
The moment underscored the energy and expectations that youth members bring to party events.
In response, Sifuna urged the youths to remain patient and assured them that Babu Owino would indeed be present. He emphasized that the party leadership was aware of the demands and was managing the situation carefully.
The interaction revealed the delicate balance the party must maintain in addressing the concerns of its diverse membership.
The incident also reflects broader challenges within ODM as it marks two decades since its formation. With multiple groups and interests within the party, leaders are often required to navigate differing agendas while maintaining unity.
The youths’ call for Babu Owino’s presence demonstrates his strong influence, especially among young party supporters who are eager for a more prominent role for him in party activities.
