Title: Meet Sonko

]In six short years, Nairobi politics has seen Sonko capture the aspirations of the hoi polloi sequestered in the dangerous, horrid city ghettos, where in the true Hobbesian fashion, “life is short, nasty and brutish”. If his criminal record is supposed to stick out as a sore thumb, the contrary is true. The record, which he does not shy away from, has proved to be a magnet to the youth — who form the strength of his fundamental support

Let's hope Kidero files his petition so that Sonko is disqualified and a new entrant takes it.  Too bad. I was hoping but now Kidero has conceded to Gov 54% and is heading for a tujifalanfalanga position in a tujifalanfalanfa gov as soon as the petition is swept under the red carpet.

How kidero and Miguna never challenged sonko being on Ballot box based on his criminal record is a mystery. Sonko is all over the place, he sounds unsure...something does not add up

Sonko will perform better than useless Kidero. That is given because Kidero record is one big disaster.

He might perform better than kidero. But if he's surrounding himself with known land crooks like Mugo (kapussy) Nairobians are in for a rough ride.

There is no mystery in common sense; Sonko had about 160K more votes than the nearest aspirant in NBO in 2013, he had more votes than anybody else in 2017.

Why waste money in a useless petition which been if it ruled in your favor would guarantee you another thrashing?

As Baba Yao learn in his petition, it is extremely difficult to rig in a swing county/region given the risks of being caught. If there ever was a fair election, it was in NBO where Jubilee and NASWA agents thronged EVERY polling station

Kidero has been promised a CS position....hopefully Miguna will file a petition. ..
