Intrigues in Sonko fall and the Uhuru, Raila takeover plot

THE STANDARD
Details of the intrigues that played at the Senate ahead of vote to impeach former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko have emerged. And now top Jubilee strategists are plotting a “handshake duo” ticket in an upcoming by-election.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga are mulling over a joint ticket for Nairobi governorship following the dramatic impeachment of Sonko last Thursday.
In the plan revealed to The Standard by top officials, Jubilee will produce the governorship candidate while ODM gives a running mate.
The latest scheme by the handshake partners is likely to open a fresh battlefront pitting Uhuru and Raila on one side against Deputy President William Ruto on the other after Bishop Margaret Wanjiru declared herself the “hustler nation candidate” in the mini-polls.
