Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko, Nominated MP Johnson Sakaja and Dagoretti South MP Dennis Waweru have decided to work together to unseat governor Evans Kidero in the 2017 general election.

The three leaders met on Friday afternoon at Serena Hotel and pledged to join forces.

Details of the meeting remain scanty, but it is likely that they might form an alliance to counter their rivals eyeing the city seat.

The legislators had skipped an earlier meeting called by Nairobi MPs in the bid to unite all governor aspirants targeting the Jubilee ticket.
