​NAIROBI, KENYA — They say a fruit does not fall far from its tree. Having sat at the feet of one of Kenya’s greatest statesmen, the late Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, Upper Savanna MCA Hon. Stazo Omungala is now stepping up to take the political mantle in Embakasi East Constituency.

​With the current Member of Parliament, Hon. Babu Owino, shifting his focus to City Hall in a bid to unseat Governor Johnson Sakaja, a major political realignment is underway in Embakasi East. Positioned at the forefront of this shift is Hon. Stazo, whose record of delivery, unwavering party loyalty, and deep grasp of local politics have quickly established him as the leading favorite to succeed Babu Owino.

​MENTORED BY THE “ENIGMA”

​Hon. Stazo honed his leadership skills directly under the tutelage of the late Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga. Entrusted by the ODM party leader to steward the youth agenda across Nairobi County, Stazo built crucial political networks while mastering grassroots mobilization.

​His steadfast commitment to ODM and his backing of the broad-based government continue to define his political standing, reassuring voters of his ability to carry forward progressive leadership in Embakasi East.

​“The outgoing MP has done commendable work as he transitions to county leadership. We strongly back Hon. Stazo to build on Babu’s foundation and take Embakasi East to new heights.”
