Jubilee and ODM parties have vowed to continue with preparations for Nairobi’s by-election despite a court order on Monday that suspended the polls originally slated for February 18,2020.

This is even as the race for the positions of governor and a deputy intensifies with both the ruling and the opposition party engaging to determine who they will field for the respectful positions following last month’s impeachment of Mike Sonko.
