Gachagua praised the MP for his steadfastness in opposing the current government's punitive policies, particularly the ongoing demolitions in Nairobi’s Gikomba and Githurai areas.
This first-class moment of political cross-pollination saw Gachagua explicitly encouraging Babu to lead the Linda Mwananchi faction, framing it as a mechanical necessity to protect the 55 million Kenyans from what he termed a digital blockade of their economic rights by the ruling alliance.
Gachagua’s live intervention has reportedly triggered total panic within the ODM’s official hierarchy, led by party leader Dr. Oburu Odinga.
Insiders suggest that the call is a strategic attempt to fuel the internal mutiny led by Babu Owino and Edwin Sifuna, who have been vocal critics of the ODM-UDA partnership.
By publicly siding with the party’s radical wing, Gachagua is accelerating a software crash within ODM, making it increasingly difficult for the party to present a unified front while its top firebrand receives coaching and support from the Mountain’s chief strategist.
A central theme of the call was a joint commitment to halt the government-led demolitions that have displaced thousands of traders. Gachagua claimed that the sad news of these evictions is a targeted attack on specific communities and urged Babu to use his first-class legal wins to protect residents in Bahati and Kamukunji.
This collaboration marks a significant transition in the 2027 roadmap, where former rivals are now using their shared ground grievances to form a mechanical alliance against the Broad-Based government’s infrastructure agenda, which they claim lacks empathy.
The Kameme Call is being viewed as a pre-emptive strike against the 2027 roadmap being drafted at State House.
By elevating Babu Owino as a national leader worthy of his personal attention, Gachagua is bypassing traditional party elders to speak to the youth and the urban poor.
This move suggests that before curses explode in the next election, a new anti-status quo coalition is forming that ignores the old ethnic arithmetic.
Whether this Babu-Gachagua bromance is a temporary mechanical fix or a permanent new party structure remains the most watched sad news for the ruling alliance.
