Sonko vs Kidero is expected to be a close contest. The ODM governor has exuded confidence in trouncing his opponent.
“I am not surprised. All along we knew Sonko was going to be our competitor. So we are not worried and Nairobians will prove that in August,” he said, as reported by The Star.
Kidero says he will win the hearts of Nairobi residents because of the development projects he has initiated.
“Our level of preparedness is not determined by who our competitor is. It is determined by the urban integrated development plan that we have developed,” he said.
Governor Kidero was handed a direct nomination ticket by ODM.
He will also face lawyer Miguna Miguna in the August polls. Miguna is vying as an independent candidate.
