Owalo announced his resignation shortly after unveiling his presidential ambitions, a decision that surprised many and immediately drew public attention. Supporters described the move as bold, saying it signaled independence and seriousness about his bid for the top seat.
However, a section of Kenyans questioned the timing and intent behind his decision. Critics argued that his candidacy lacks political weight and structure, claiming it may not be a genuine attempt to win the presidency.
Some political observers and social media users alleged that Owalo could be part of a wider political scheme. They claimed he might be a project designed to fragment opposition votes ahead of the 2027 elections.
Others specifically pointed to the Luo Nyanza voting bloc, arguing that Owalo’s entry into the race could be aimed at splitting the region’s votes. According to this view, such a move would weaken key opposition figures expected to rely heavily on support from the area.
There were also voices defending Owalo, saying every Kenyan has a constitutional right to seek elective office. They argued that dismissing his bid as a project undermines democratic competition and political diversity.
On social media, reactions ranged from skepticism to cautious support. Some users urged Kenyans to wait and judge Owalo by his policies and campaign strategy rather than assumptions.
The resignation has also raised questions about loyalty and political realignment within government circles. Analysts noted that stepping down early could help Owalo position himself as an outsider rather than a government insider.
