Edwin Sifuna Cleverly Avoids Babu Owino’s ‘Trap’, Makes Unexpected Move in Kilifi
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has raised eyebrows across Kenya’s political landscape after opting for complete silence amidst an intensifying legal and political feud with Embakasi East MP Babu Owino.
Many political observers had sympathized with Sifuna following hurdles in registering the Linda Mwananchi party—a platform intended to mount a robust opposition against President William Ruto’s UDA ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The rivalry deepened when Babu Owino outmaneuvered the faction by registering “The Mwanainchi Party” and adopting branding almost identical to the Linda Mwananchi movement.

Despite what many viewed as a calculated provocation, Sifuna has maintained absolute composure. Refusing to fall into the trap or engage in public altercations, he has deliberately avoided addressing claims made by the Embakasi East lawmaker.
Instead of engaging in party-name wrangles, Sifuna made an unexpected pivot to the Coast region. During high-profile engagements in Kilifi and Kwale counties, he bypassed the ongoing drama entirely.
Rather than traded insults, he focused his energy on solidifying his grassroots structures, holding strategic planning sessions with interim officeholders, sub-county and ward officials, and prospective candidates seeking to ride on his growing political momentum.
Taking to his social media platforms, the vocal senator posted: “Meeting with interim office, sub county, ward officials and aspirants from Kwale this morning.”
By shifting his focus to coastal mobilization and constituency-level organization, Sifuna signals a clear tactical shift: prioritizing long-term grassroots strategy over political side-shows.
As the race toward 2027 gains momentum, his disciplined restraint in Kilifi demonstrates a leader intent on dictating his own narrative rather than reacting to his rivals.
