By publicly endorsing Sifuna, Babu is not only speaking as a Nairobi resident but also an elected ODM leader in the capital. He has influence.

Sifuna unsuccessfully ran for the city senator in 2017, losing out to Jubilee’s Johnson Sakaja. He is a strong candidate and should be given chance.

However, the ODM camp started this noise prematurely as Jubilee is yet to settle on a candidate. The Party gave all aspirants and Close of Business (CoB) on Christmas Day to submit their credentials. It is not clear how we can come up with the nominee for Deputy Governor before we know the Governor.

Interestingly, ODM has also called for party members interested in the Nairobi seat to submit their credentials before noon on Monday.

The announcement was made at midnight on Thursday. Where does that leave the proposed handshake coalition?
