Mbadi festigt nach dem Tod von Raila seinen Einfluss in Nyanza

14. Mai 2026

Von KI berichtet

Finanzminister John Mbadi scheint seine politische Macht in Nyanza nach dem Tod von Raila Odinga auszubauen. Seine jüngsten Äußerungen haben ihn in Konflikt mit einigen ODM-Führern gebracht.

Mbadi erklärte bei einem ODM-Treffen in Mombasa am 4. Mai, dass er bei den allgemeinen Wahlen 2027 für keinen politischen Sitz kandidieren werde. Er verteidigte seine Kommentare mit der Bemerkung, dass es jedem freistehe, sie nach eigenem Ermessen zu interpretieren. Am vergangenen Freitag wurde er als Schutzpatron der Niederlassung Nairobi des Luo Council of Elders eingesetzt. Dieser Schritt wird als Teil seiner Strategie angesehen, seinen politischen Einfluss in ganz Nyanza zu festigen. In den letzten Monaten hat er Beerdigungen und politische Veranstaltungen in der gesamten Region per Hubschrauber besucht, während er versucht, Unterstützung für Präsident Ruto im Vorfeld der Wahl 2027 aufzubauen.
