The decision to field Polycarp Igathe as the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya candidate for Nairobi as opposed to Westlands MP, Tim Wanyonyi has revealed one painful fact; that when it comes to boardroom negotiations, there is little regard for the people.

If the Azimio team had opted for an opinion poll between Igathe and Wanyonyi, it is obvious who would have won. It would have been the same story, if they had subjected the two to a nomination exercise. The reason is very simple. Wanyonyi declared his aspirations long time ago and has been on the ground seeking support for months.
