Shebesh says she is proud of her development record which she notes is crucial in ensuring she wins a second term.

"I have done a lot to improve the lives of the youths, women, people living with disabilities and children in Nairobi," said Shebesh as quoted by the Nation.

She stated that her vast experience with the city electorate is an added advantage.

 "I have had high level interaction with voters in the last 10 years and on different platforms, which has given me the mileage I need to win effortlessly," she added.

She boasts of several projects which she has initiated to assist residents especially the marginalised.

"There is not much you can do but the projects (I) have initiated have benefitted many marginalised groups. I am confident of winning," she says.

Shebesh is facing a stiff challenge from ODM candidate Esther Passaris, Wiper’s Rahab Ndambuki as well as Nadya Khan of Maendeleo Chap Chap.

Others in the race are Winnie Wanja Wainaina of Party of National Unity, Khadijah Ruguru of Mzalendo Saba Saba Asili and Republican Liberty Party’s Teresia Omollo.
