The outspoken legislator claimed that the party's main concern was not supporting Governor Johnson Sakaja but ensuring that he does not become the next governor of Nairobi.
Babu argued that some political players were more interested in blocking his ambitions than deciding who should occupy the governor's office.
He suggested that the discussions around Sakaja's political future were being used to advance a bigger plan against his own bid for the city's top county seat.
Babu also questioned Sakaja's relationship with ODM, bringing up the governor's past political position towards the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
He wondered why Sakaja was now seeking to embrace the party despite what he described as his failure to support Raila during his political struggles.
The Embakasi East MP's remarks come as political activities surrounding the 2027 General Election continue to gain momentum.
Nairobi remains one of the most closely watched political battlegrounds because of its large voting population and influence in national politics.
The contest for the governor's seat is expected to attract several prominent politicians seeking to control the county.
Babu's latest statement signals that the Nairobi gubernatorial contest could become more complicated as politicians position themselves ahead of the elections.
His claims also raise questions about the relationship between ODM, Sakaja and other leaders interested in the seat.
However, his accusations about the party's intentions remain his own claims and have not been independently established.
With the next election approaching, the political competition between those seeking the Nairobi governorship is likely to attract even more attention.
