Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has come out to claim that main challenger for the seat Senator Mike Sonko has been copying his strategies ahead of the August 8 polls.

Kidero has claimed that Sonko copied his manifesto that was launched last week.

“It is all copied from ours. Tell me what is different from ours? The only difference is that they do not understand the job they supposedly want to do,” he stated.

Speaking on Wednesday, Kidero further accused of Sonko frustrating his efforts as the County boss by not doing enough as the senator.

Kidero who is vying on an ODM ticket said that Sonko is incompetent to lead the county.

“Senator Mike Sonko did not understand what his roles were because of incompetence. "People like Kimani Wamatangi, Bonny Khalwale and Anyang’ Nyongo knew what the role of a senator entailed and they will probably go down as the best senators in the last parliament,” Kidero stated.

He said that Sonko did not his role.

The Nairobi seat has attracted Kidero, Mike Sonko, lawyer Miguna Miguna and former Gatanga MP peter Kenneth.

Recent opinion polls indicate that Kidero and Sonko are tied.
