Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero on Tuesday received a major boost in his re-election bid after being endorsed by over 100 elders from the Kamba community.
The elders led by their Chairperson Sam Mumbi vowed to support the Governor and his Deputy Jonathan Mueke in the August elections.
The Kamba team also promised to help Kidero and Mueke overcome any competition and challenge that might be posed by his rival, Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko.
“We as the elders from Kamba community, are fully behind you and pledge to convince the voters from our community to vote for you again in August 8,” Mumbi stated.
Mr Mumbi further noted that the Governor and his deputy had maintained a cordial relationship with the elders thus the need to re-elect the two.
“Unlike other governors and their deputies, our relationship with Mueke has been intact, cordial and friendly,” he stated.
The deputy Governor on his part applauded his boss for appointing professionals from the community to top positions at the county citing Health Executive Benard Muia, Head of Inspectorate Francis Munyambo and Chief planning officer Rose Mwema.
Governor Kidero will face off with Sonko in the August polls.
