Margaret Wanjiru Issues UNEXPECTED DemandS From Sonko Days After Being Released From Jail

Jubilee’s gubernatorial aspirants made a memorandum of understanding as they all campaigned to clinch the ticket to vie for Nairobi governor. The agreement was that all aspirants; Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko and former Starehe MP Margaret Wanjiru, would work together against their party opponent, Peter Kenneth, and to take down Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero. Sonko and Wanjiru agreed that whoever gets to face off with Kidero on August 8, they will pick the other as his running mate.

Sonko won the gubernatorial nomination as Peter Kenneth opposed the results and Margaret Wanjiru arrested for sparking off polling station chaos. However, the pact failed to hold water when Sonko took to social media to hold a poll on whom between billionaire businessmen Chris Kirubi and Jimnah Mbaru he should pick as his deputy governor. Speaking to journalists on Sunday, April 30, Wanjiru demanded Sonko uphold their pact and pick her as his running mate.

Later, Kirubi issued a stunning statement in response to Sonko’s job offer. “We had an MoU with Mike Sonko that whoever won the nomination would pick the other as running mate. This is the deal he has no otherwise but to honour,” said Wanjiru. She also threatened to vie as an independent candidate if he failed to uphold the agreement.
