Westlands MP Wanyonyi affirms his bid for Nairobi Governor

Nairobi Gubernatorial aspirant Tim Wanyonyi has dismissed reports doing on social media that he is being considered for Deputy Governor position in the Nairobi Gubernatorial race.

Speaking at his campaign secretariat in Nairobi, Wanyonyi dismissed rumours that he had accepted to be a deputy to ex-Nairobi Deputy Governor Polycarp Igathe.

The Westlands MP affirmed his bid for Nairobi Governor saying he is busy looking for a suitable running mate and leaving no room for him to be considered for the same position.

“The march to City Hall is still intact, the journey is still on and we are in the race until we clinch the Governor’s seat,” said MP Wanyonyi.

Kenya Kwanza Alliance has already settled on Senator Johnson Sakaja as its Nairobi Gubernatorial candidate in the forthcoming General Election.

This follows after a deal was brokered by Deputy President William Ruto and witnessed by presence of Party Leaders Musalia Mudavadi (ANC), Moses Wetang’ula (Ford Kenya) and Justin Muturi (DP) in Karen.

In the new agreement, Margaret Wanjiru has deferred her gubernatorial bid and will now run for the Senate seat.

Dr Ruto thanked Ms Wanjiru for her magnanimity, sacrifice and grace.“This win-win spirit will regain Nairobi its glory,” said the Deputy President.
