Sources indicate that influential figures are backing Ababu and this move seen as a strategic attempt to capture the ODM stronghold of Busia. Currently, the seat is held by Catherine Omanyo who also hails from Busia.
Ababu's move is viewed as a bid to position himself as a key player in Busia politics, potentially setting him up to vie for the Senator seat in the region. The shift has sparked speculation about the future of ODM's leadership and whether the party's strongholds are up for grabs.
The maneuvering comes amid whispers that President Ruto's camp is backing Ababu to counter growing support for Sifuna in Busia. Busia having no clear point man for any major party and Ababu's move could fill a critical gap, reshaping local politics.
Catherine Omanyo's role hangs in the balance as Ababu prepares to make his mark. The political landscape in Busia is set for a shake-up, with Ababu Namwamba emerging as a contender to watch.
