Akala Market in Bondo Constituency roared to life as ODM firebrand MP Babu Owino stormed the town, drawing a mammoth crowd that turned his political rally into one of the most electrifying gatherings the region has witnessed in recent months.
Residents from surrounding villages poured in early, eager to hear the youthful legislator whose energetic style and bold messaging have earned him admiration across the country.
Addressing the charged crowd, Babu Owino delivered an impassioned message that blended empathy, encouragement, and a call to action.
Reflecting on what he witnessed during his visit, he spoke with a tone that resonated deeply with the struggles of ordinary Kenyans.
“Yesterday in Akala, Gem Constituency, I witnessed something powerful—the strength, the resilience, and the unbroken spirit of our people.
I saw mothers fighting to feed their families, young people searching for opportunities that seem just out of reach, and hardworking men and women carrying the weight of a system that has not always been fair to them,” Babu Owino said, capturing the mood of a community battling a harsh economic climate.
He went on to express solidarity with the frustrations felt by many citizens across the country, particularly the rising cost of living, limited job opportunities, and the persistent challenge of governance shortcomings.
“Today, I speak not just as a leader, but as a fellow Kenyan who feels your pain, your frustration, and your hopes.
We are living through a time when the cost of living has become unbearable, when opportunities are shrinking instead of growing, and when corruption steals from us,” he added, drawing loud cheers and chants from the crowd.
The Akala rally served not only as a show of political strength but also as a platform for Babu Owino to reaffirm his commitment to championing youth empowerment, economic justice, and fair governance.
As the rally ended, thousands lingered—some hopeful, others energized—yet all united by the message that change is possible when people stand together.
Babu Owino’s Akala visit may well mark a significant moment in his ongoing push to connect with grassroots communities across the region.
