EKEINOS in 1 Jn 2:6

Since the discussion on 1 John continues, let me ask the list for their
feelings who is being referred to by EKEINOS in 1 John 2:6. Some
English translations very clearly take this as referring to Jesus,
possibly because the EN AUTW holds the nearest substantive (?). Yet I
can see a strong case for this referring back to the hOS in verse 5.
What do you all think, and why?

Thanks,

Paul
