Sonko knows how to survive politically - That is the truth. According to a recent survey carried out in Nairobi county, Sonko is the most popular politicians in Nairobi. During the last general elections, Sonko was the third in number of votes nationwide after President Uhuru and Raila Odinga.
Sonkos popularity cannot be taken for granted, says the opinion poll. According to the poll, Sonko may garner up to 1 Million+ in the next general elections. President Uhuru knows Sonko's influence and treats him with high regard. Uhuru sent him to read his condolence speech during the burial of former Kamukunji MP Simon Mbugua’s mother.
This has led to some rebellion from within Jubilee's political Kitchen that is determined to clip his political wings. But it may be hell for them because they are tribal as opposed to Sonko who enjoys support from all communities and religious circles . The latest camp that has now emerged determined to finish Sonko revolves around Starehe MP maina Kamanda, Nairobi Women Rep Rachel Shebesh and former Embakasi MP Ferdinad Waititu.
