When the water and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa announced his ambition to vie for Nairobi governorship a section of leaders said that Wamalwa was Deputy president’s project in his political mathematics in 2022.

Wamalwa received a lot of resistance from other jubilee members who saw that Wamalwa was being favored by the top leadership of Jubilee party.

It is said that, the water minister has secretly bowed out of the Nairobi gubernatorial race after he failed to marshal full support from the Jubilee politicians who were against him. The politicians argued that he doesn’t have the numbers and he will give governor Kidero an easy time of clinching back the seat.

Now there is a new person in the race who has elicited a lot of controversy in the Jubilee camp, the former Gatanga Mp who has been silent for some time now.

On Sunday when the former 2013 Presidential candidate and Kenya National Congress Party leader declared his ambitions of joining the race for Nairobi governorship in the election schedule this year has send shivers in the Jubilee camp.

According to some Jubilee members the former Gatanga MP is being strategical placed there so that he can be groomed for the presidency in 2022.It is said that Nairobi being the heart of the nation it is a good place for one to start when eyeing the top seat in the county.

By clinching the Nairobi governorship Peter Kenneth will be able to build a good following that will see him have a say in Kenya’s politics.Peter Kenneth received a warm welcome from President Uhuru Kenyatta and Jubilee members who said that they were glad that the politician had finally came home.

Probably Peter Kenneth’s development record is speaking out loud and it might give him an upper hand of winning the seat.In fact many had advised him to go for the sit so that he could bring sanity in the city where they claim that there is a lot of rot going on there.

Mr. Kenneth said that he is ready to serve Nairobi residents in the capacity of a governor and he will do his best to steer Nairobi county to greater hights.He also said that he is a good manager and Nairobi needs a good manager like him.

Meanwhile, a section of Jubilee members of county assembly has endorsed the former Gatanga MP to take over Nairobi leadership mantle. They say he is best Jubilee candidate because so many people will vote for him owing to his development track record as a member of parliament of Gatanga.
