Owalo’s departure from the government wasn't just a quiet exit, it was a principled stand against what he calls ethnic enclaves.
According to Owalo, President William Ruto is finding himself increasingly boxed into a corner.
The strategy of winning through broad, grassroots movements, the hustler narrative seems to be giving way to a more desperate, old-school brand of alliance-building.
Owalo has pointed out a series of frantic moves that suggest the President is feeling the heat.
He has highlighted a recent trend where the President has been reaching out to the very dynasties he once campaigned against.
The irony isn't lost on the Kenyan public. Owalo has named several key figures that Ruto is allegedly leaning on to secure a win in 2027.
He has named the Kenyatta and Moi families and the Odinga family. After years of dynasty vs. hustler rhetoric, Owalo notes Ruto is now seen hopping to Kabarak for Gideon Moi’s blessing and attempting to mend fences with Uhuru Kenyatta.
Perhaps most surprising is the claim that Ruto is negotiating with Oburu Odinga, seeking a foothold in regions that have historically been opposition strongholds.
For Owalo, these moves are signs of a cornered presidency trying to survive by repeating the mistakes of the past prioritizing power-sharing between elite families over the needs of the common citizen.
By entering the 2027 race, Owalo aims to break this cycle of political convenience.
