  "summary": "Tony Gachoka, the spokesperson for the KANU party and a Nairobi gubernatorial candidate, has criticized Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino for his comments regarding Winnie Odinga's potential Senate bid. Gachoka described Babu as being in a political decline and questioned his political identity and ambitions. Gachoka had previously considered Babu to be the Luo community's political kingpin and had even thought he could be the Mwananchi Party's candidate for the presidency in 2032. The KANU spokesperson's remarks came in response to Babu's defense of Winnie Odinga's political aspirations, stating that he would not oppose her simply because he aims to become Nairobi governor.",
