Speaking candidly during a public forum, Mosiria claimed the fallout stems from a campus election in which he believes Babu Owino unfairly took votes that rightfully belonged to him.
According to Mosiria, the incident left deep-seated resentment that was never resolved, eventually spilling into their later political lives.
“The reason we don’t get along is because he stole my votes while we were in campus,” Mosiria said.
“I told him, one day we shall meet outside and settle our scores.”
His remarks immediately stirred debate, reviving memories of the fiercely contested student leadership races that produced several of today’s national political figures.
Mosiria, who has in recent years emerged as a vocal figure within Nairobi politics and governance circles, suggested that campus politics often mirror the high-stakes, winner-takes-all culture seen in national elections.
He argued that unresolved grievances from those formative years can shape alliances and rivalries long after graduation.
Babu Owino, a former student leader at the University of Nairobi, rose to national prominence through student activism before transitioning into mainstream politics.
His tenure has been marked by both strong grassroots support and recurring controversy, making Mosiria’s claims particularly provocative in the current political climate.
The revelation has triggered mixed reactions online.
Some Kenyans dismissed the claims as outdated personal grievances being recycled for attention, while others said they highlight how electoral mistrust begins early and follows leaders into public office.
Political analysts caution that personal feuds framed in electoral injustice can inflame public opinion if left unsubstantiated.
