The race for Nairobi County top seat has taken a different dimension with the incumbent Governor Evans Kidero now accusing Deputy President William Ruto of striving to run the county by proxy.

Kidero told The Standard that the active role DP Ruto had taken in drumming support for Jubilee Party candidate for the governor position in Nairobi leaves a lot to be desired as it is a grand scheme to position himself ahead of the 2022 elections.
