Nairobi County Governor-elect Johnson Sakaja and his deputy Njoroge Muchiri convened the inaugural Nairobi caucus meeting with elected Kenya Kwanza Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) on Wednesday, August 2.
The outgoing Nairobi senator who was elected on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party ticket promised to fulfill his campaign pledges to the people of Nairobi.
Moreover Sakaja won with 699,392 votes against his main competitor Polycarp Igathe of Jubilee who garnered 573,518 votes.
“DG Njoroge Muchiri and I held our inaugural Nairobi caucus meeting with Kenya Kwanza MCAs. We commit to deliver to you a city of order and dignity; hope and opportunity for all. We shall deliver on all the promises we made to you,” the incoming Nairobi governor stated.
Nonetheless, following the just concluded general election, UDA appeared to have won a majority in the Nairobi City County Assembly after securing 36 seats, followed by the ODM party which bagged 35 seats.
Likewise, the ruling Jubilee Party which controlled the City Hall only managed 5 seats as opposed to the 43 in the previous Assembly.
Similarly, Wiper garnered 4 seats, Chama Cha Kazi secured a single seat whereas two members were elected as independents.
