Babu Owino, a Member of Parliament for Embakasi East, has arrived in Meru ahead of a Linda Mwananchi rally. The visit comes as the movement intensifies its grassroots mobilisation campaign ahead of the 2027 General Election. The rally is scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 30, 2026, with Babu announcing his arrival on X, stating, "Meru tumefika.

Ni time ya ma selfie." This is in response to Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna's announcement that the rally would be held in Meru. The movement's decision to hold its next major rally in Meru follows disruptions during a recent tour of the county, which included road blockades and burning tyres. Despite these challenges, Babu's arrival in Meru is seen as a boost to the Linda Mwananchi movement's efforts to expand its reach and build grassroots support ahead of the 2027 election.
