Nairobi gubernatorial aspirants Mike Mbuvi Sonko and Dennis Waweru have declined invites to appear as guests in Wednesday’s night edition of Jeff Koinange Live.

This was confirmed on the day of the interview by celebrated journalist Jeff Koinange, who hosts the bi-weekly popular talk show on KTN.

Both Sonko (Nairobi Senator) and Waweru (Dagoretti South MP) have declared interest in unseating Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero in the 2017 General Election.

It is, however, unclear why the two leaders, who are both seeking Jubilee Party ticket, opted out of the Nairobi gubernatorial debate, which would have seen them come face to face with their potential competitors in the frame of Miguna Miguna and Rev Margaret Wanjiru.

It should be noted in the meantime that Miguna has in the past blasted both Kidero and Sonko on this very show, claiming the two are not fit to govern the city.

Other potential candidates for the Nairobi Governorship include Johnson Sakaja, Water Cabinet Secretary, Eugene Wamalwa, Budalang’i MP, Ababu Namwamba, and and former Speaker of the national Assembly Kenneth Marende.
