William Kabogo Speaks on Vying for Nairobi Governor’s Seat
Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has dismissed claims that he has declared interest in the Nairobi governor’s seat.
Daily Nation listed Kabogo, former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth, former Starehe MP Margret Wanjiru, and former Dagoretti South MP Dennis Waweru as some of the candidates eying the seat.
But speaking on Tuesday, Kabogo clarified that he is yet to make such an announcement, saying that his name is being peddled by people who want him to contest for the position.
“It is people's wish that I vie for the seat, but I haven’t said anything about Nairobi,” he said.
Nominated MP Maina Kamanda noted that the handshake team will field a joint candidate in the Nairobi gubernatorial by-election.
“We will field one candidate under the spirit of the handshake and a suitable formula will be crafted to determine who is best to take the job,” he told a local daily.
In a gazette notice dated December 22nd, 2020, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) announced the mini-election will be held on February 18th, 2021.
The seat fell vacant following the impeachment of Mike Sonko on the grounds of gross violation of the Constitution and other laws, abuse of office, violation of national laws, and lack of mental capacity to run the county government.

Nairobi count a problems of the most corrupt thieves, drag peddlers, conmen, illiterates, and seriously myopic people holding positions of leadership. Just look a Kidero, Sonko, kabogo, etc lining up to put the city deeper into dirty Nairobi river!
Can Nairobi county get a break for once!!!??? Maybe the voters will less drunk with funny inebriation cocktails going forward!
Who are “some people are urging you to run” @kabogo? Other drag sellers? Nonsense!
Yeah,drug traders,murderers,thieves,rapists etc.Only mad people elect the likes of majambazi Uhuru,Ruto,Nyong,Kindero.Ngilu,Mumbi,Sonko,Wetangula,Mudavadi or murderers Raila,Wanjiru,Kamanda,Joho,Kabogo etc.MAGATHIA TUPU.But remember Kenya has laws which will stop the election since Sonko has not been convicted.His case might even be delayed like others.
Menya, you don’t have to be convicted to be impeached and removed from office. Impeachment and litigation are two separate situations. You can lose a seat by impeachment. But that doesn’t mean you are criminally liable for anything. BUT YES, you can be sued before or after getting impeached.
Gen Badi should continue with his job. Why impeach Sonko and replace him with the same washed out politicians.
We should have Army generals running everything because they don’t steal like the god forsaken politicians! All politicians should be fired and dragged to jail - Kamiti maximum and minimum prisons! I’m tired of political thieves!
Kabogo is a thief and he talks about women underwear.
Wanataka sass kuleta the only thievery which is allowed by the kikuyu elite. These idiots have trademarked thievery.
At least they have taken the keys to the coffers from the sticky fingers of the DP Ruto! Kalenjin steal everything to include the only cow that produces the calves/milk!
Tribal bigot. You are the main reason why tribal clashes occur.
From one drug lord to another.
Problem is money reigns supreme.
He has money and he will invest in the so called Mia BILI BILI...then reap billions.
REVOLUTION is what is needed in Kenya.
This is the only thug worse than Sonko and Kidero combined. I hope his bid will be d.o.a.
