Eric Omondi names 3 MPs he says are safe ahead of 2027 elections
By William Muthama, December 6, 2025Comedian and activist Eric Omondi has warned that the majority of MPs who supported the 2024 Finance Bill are unlikely to survive the next General Election.
He has argued that public dissatisfaction, especially among Gen Z voters, has reached a breaking point.

Speaking during an interview on Friday, December 5, 2025, Omondi said young voters are more politically aware and energised than ever before and will no longer allow leaders to take them for granted.
“Youth watapiga kura na wata-determine wenye wataingia,” he said. “They think we won’t vote; they think we are digital kids who don’t matter. But 68 per cent of voters are Gen Z. We are going to wash that parliament.”
Omondi accused MPs who backed the Finance Bill of betraying the public during a period of economic strain. He insisted that none of them should expect political survival in 2027.
“Every Member of Parliament who voted for the 2024 Finance Bill – hakuna hata mmoja atarudi,” he said. “We don’t forget. We keep quiet and wait. We lost people; do you think we forget? Kwani tuna kichaa?”
However, Omondi singled out three MPs he believes have strong enough public support to retain their seats in 2027: Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro, and Mumias East MP Peter Salasya.
“I can count only three who will return: Babu Owino, Ndindi Nyoro, and maybe Peter Salasya,” he said.

Omondi also stresses that real political accountability begins in Parliament, emphasising that major national decisions, including presidential proposals, must pass through the House. He views Parliament as the core institution where public trust was broken during the Finance Bill debate.
He further suggests that Kenya may one day require a symbolic and structural transformation of Parliament itself, arguing that the current institution represents a legacy of leadership failures.
In his view, the country may ultimately need both a political and physical reconstruction of its legislative space to achieve a genuine new beginning.
“Itafika siku moja tuihamishe Parliament, tuipeleke Upper Hill, tuitakase just for the feeling of a psychological new beginning. Ile mashetani iko kwa hii nyumba… We will have to build a new physical building to give a new start,” he said.
