Nairobi ward representatives on Friday approved Anne Mwenda for the position of deputy governor.
In what was a swift confirmation process, the county assembly accepted a report from the vetting committee approving her nomination for the position.
Ms Mwenda was vetted Friday morning in a session that lasted slightly more than one hour.
The process began after clerk Edward Gichana confirmed there is no court order stopping the vetting.
Earlier Friday, the High Court threw out cases challenging the nomination of Ms Mwenda as deputy governor, paving way for the vetting process.
During the vetting, promised to fight City Hall cartels as well as work closely with the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) should she be approved to the position.
