With 20 months to the next General Election, the scramble for political seats in Nairobi has begun in earnest, with the gubernatorial race drawing the most interest. 

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is upbeat that his Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) will not only capture the gubernatorial and senatorial seats but will also sweep most parliamentary and county assembly positions.
