He also stated that despite their political differences, they have committed to work together to ensure their agenda benefits the people of Nairobi.
“From the polls and statistics, he was my closest competitor but when we sat together after he was replaced by someone else, I sympathised with him and agreed to work together,” Sakaja said.
“Our teams are working together and more details will be out in due course. The vision for our great county and having what is in your heart done is important.” he added.
