Popularly known in political circles and among his peers as BenTie, youthful politician and businessman Benedict Nzeki is growing political muscles in Machakos County where Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko has one foot in.

BenTie and Sonko have had a number of meetings some of them in BenTie’s Mlolongo 680 Club and Lounge which a number of other politicians have also been frequenting as the campaign season starts to shape up.

“Mike Sonko is a friend. I like his political ideologies and it is no secret that I am ready to work with him even if he declares that he wants to defend his current seat,” BenTie, who is said to be eyeing a political seat in Machakos County, told MondayBlues.

He is one of the few youthful leaders who have been accompanying Sonko to rallies in and outside Nairobi.
