During the ODM's 20th anniversary celebrations in Mombasa, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino criticized his party's leadership appointments and vowed protests against Kenya Kwanza's government over the rising cost of living and education.

• Babu Owino questioned why he was not considered for any leadership positions within the party, despite the appointment of Oburu Odinga as the new party leader.
• He threatened to stage protests if the cost of living and education continues to rise, stating, "If cost of education goes up, we will stage protests whether they like it or not."
• Winnie Odinga, daughter of Raila Odinga, called for a delegates meeting to decide who should manage the relationship between ODM and the Kenya Kwanza government.
