City lawyer Donald Kipkorir now opines that Murang’a Woman Representative Sabina Chege should be the flagbearer of the Raila-led Azimio la Umoja Movement in the Nairobi gubernatorial seat race, with Westlands MP Tim Wanyoyi as her running mate.

“Those intending to contest Nairobi gubernatorial seat on Azimio ticket are my friends and known them for so long. But thinking aloud, what if we let Sabina Chege take it and Tim Wanyonyi be Deputy with executive powers?” the lawyer wrote on Twitter.

Kipkorir said Sabina has showed great support for Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“Sabina Chege has demonstrated utmost loyalty to Uhuru and Baba,” he added.

Sabina has served as Murang’a county MP for two terms. She was elected on a Jubilee party ticket in 2017 and a TNA party in 2013.

Initially, she was Deputy President William Ruto’s fierce defender before shifting allegiance to the pro-handshake team.

This week, she camped in Nyanza region alongside National Assembly Majority Leader Amos Kimunya calling on residents to register as voters.

She has declared interest in Murang’a governor seat.

Wanyonyi on the other hand has shown interest in Nairobi gubernatorial seat on an ODM ticket.

Others who are in the race to succeed Ann Kananu are businessman Richard Ngatia (Azimio), former Starehe MP Margaret Wanjiru (UDA) and Johnson Sakaja (ANC) among others.
