Backed by allies from the region as well as a change of strategy focused on economic transformation, Owalo appears to be a man on a mission.

Unlike past leaders who attempted to wrestle the leadership baton from Raila by facing him head-on in the political arena but fell flat on their faces in failure, Owalo's strategy is different. His style is non-confrontational and pegged on economic transformation.

His allies are cheering him on but critics believe he still has a lot to do to penetrate the region even as others also dismiss the prospects of a political change in the region.
