“A Kingpin or a Fool’s Errand? Millie Mabona’s Brutal Take on Owalo’s Presidential Dream”
This story matters because political insiders often see the game more clearly. Millie Mabona’s sharp analysis on X cuts through the noise, giving us a real look at Eliud Owalo’s risky presidential move.
Millie Mabona, an MP of Suba North Constituency , has shared a blunt assessment of former CS Eliud Owalo’s presidential announcement. She lays out three possible paths, suggesting his big declaration might not be what it seems. This is a masterclass in political strategy from a sharp online commentator.
Her first point is a reality check. Mabona says if Owalo doesn’t use the UDA party ticket, he might only become a regional kingpin for a smaller party. This means he’d be a major player, but mainly to challenge ODM in specific areas, not the whole country.
The second, more likely path, is that this is a setup for a lower seat. Mabona hints this could be a calculated launchpad for a gubernatorial race in Siaya or a parliamentary seat in Rarieda. The presidential talk, in this view, is just to build his profile back home.
Finally, Mabona dismisses the standalone presidential bid as “hot air” and a “fool’s errand.” She strongly implies that outside her first two scenarios, his national ambitions lack a realistic election pathway. It’s a tough but clear-eyed view of Kenyan politics.
So, what’s the truth? Only time will tell. But Mabona’s sentiments force us to look beyond the headline and question the real game being played. In politics, the loudest announcement isn’t always the real plan.
