Millie Odhiambo says Owalo’s presidential declaration serves as a political springboard for other elective ambitions. “My assessment is: If he does not vie in UDA, he becomes a kingpin of a smaller party that then fights out against ODM,” Odhiambo claimed. “A presidential bid would be hot air, a wild goose chase and a fool’s errand,” Odhiambo stated. According to Millie, Owalo’s presidential declaration may be more strategic than substantive, serving as a political springboard for other elective ambitions rather than a genuine bid for the country’s top office. She dismissed the seriousness of a standalone presidential bid, describing it as politically impractical if pursued outside those options.
