President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto Friday intensified the battle for the crucial 2.2 million votes in Nairobi County.

The President who joined Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko and other Jubilee candidates on the campaign trail which saw the team traverse five constituencies, pleaded with the city residents not to divide their votes. Kenyatta, who singled out the Nairobi gubernatorial race, asked the voters to avoid the mistake they made in 2013, which saw ODM’s Evans Kidero clinch the city county’s top job.
