This will not work simply because for Nairobi governor seat, you need to win Eastland's who represent 40-45% of Nairobi votes. Then other areas are the margins to take your over 50% to win. Also once you have traction in Eastland's it resonates with the rest of Nairobi. This governors race will be a contest between the best out of the worst candidates out there.
Since it's confirmed that Sonko and Waititu will not run (courtesy of EACC advisory), dont you forsee a possibility of them endorsing Kisia. Am assuming they will not have another candidate. Since your ears are closer to Tangatanga big wigs, are they fielding a candidate for Nairobi and who is that likely to be?
Tanga Tanga and Hustlers team keep their strategies very close to their hearts this days. Others are obvious like DP Uncle Ruto visits to Jubilee HQ to force events and reactions so that he can confidently move on with his plans. Some events are just public trolling the handcheque teams to keep them busy as the main event is undertaken silently.
In Nairobi governors race its mostly now up to Hustlers themselves to look at the lot and pick their leaders. Options have been presented. Hustlers leaders and candidates also want a non partial party leadership to allow them to seek support by themselves and build tickets before the question of endorsement comes. This is what I personally see happening now. DP Uncle Ruto is not rushing to endorse anyone leaving room for candidates and voters to decide then he shows support. Sonko has quit elective posts altogether but he is still keen on grassroots mobilization as he transforms himself into a kingmaker. His mobilization skills and following is second only to DP Uncle Ruto. YT2 must just be bored or also trolling. He made a deal to stay out of jail and handover kiambu even before the impeachment. His case suddenly went slow after. Even his impeachment was not seriously fought. His breaking point was that his wife and daughter were co accused as he used their accounts. He said he would rather settle and go to prison alone than his wife and daughter joining him. Since he left silently, they have had no reason to chase him anymore.
