Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo dismisses Eliud Owalo's presidential bid as "hot air," arguing the technocrat lacks the political machinery to challenge the status quo.
The resignation of Eliud Owalo has triggered a political firestorm, but not everyone is impressed. Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo, known for her sharp tongue, has dismissed the former Deputy Chief of Staff’s 2027 presidential bid as "hot air" and a "fool's errand."
Speaking in Nairobi, Odhiambo argued that Owalo lacks the ethnic base or the national network required to mount a serious challenge against President Ruto. "You do not wake up one morning, leave a government job, and become President," she scoffed. "Politics is structures, not press releases."
Odhiambo’s dismissal reflects the unease within ODM regarding Owalo. As a Luo technocrat who served Ruto, Owalo is viewed with deep suspicion in Nyanza. Is he a spoiler sent to divide the vote? Or is he a genuine third force?
Owalo has yet to respond, but the battle lines are drawn. While he pitches himself as the efficiency candidate, the seasoned politicians are preparing to crush him with the brutal mechanics of tribal arithmetic.
