What we learn from the Sonko-Igathe fall out

Jubilee Party made a big blunder in their Nairobi candidates line up! In as much as politics is a game of numbers and the fact that they didn't want to lose Mike Mbuvi Sonko during last year's campaigns, the lineup for Nairobi County was erroneous. Governor Sonko commands a "large" section of the electorate given his dramatic antics that won him favor and admiration by the less fortunate in the society- the poor thought that he was fighting for them but the guy was making political capital.

Before they knew it, he was their governor and they couldn't do anything about it. During the party primaries, Jubilee had progressive minds like Johnson Sakaja, Peter Kenneth, Dennis Waweru and many more but just because Sonko "insisted" that he would take nothing less than a gubernatorial candidate certificate and that "he would make a move" if the Party didn't facilitate that, Jubilee Party feared to lose him- they ensured that he got the certificate.
