Team Wanjiku was formed to advocate for the rights of the common Mwananchi, who seems forgotten after leaders allied themselves either to Uhuru or his deputy William Ruto.
"There is too much political talk about 2022 yet there are immediate issues that need addressing like the cost of unga. These are the things that Wanjiku wants addressed right now. We are here to ensure these issues are addressed," said Sonko.
The team held its first public rally in Machakos county last month.
They said the common mwananchi has been forgotten by the leaders they elected as they have their mind focused on 2022 succession politics.
The launch of Team Wanjiku which took place on Sunday in Ruiru Stadium was attended by thousands of people.
Sonko said team Wanjiku will hold rallies to preach service delivery in order to advance the interests of wananchi.
He said rallies will bring on board young energetic youth elected leaders and youths from across the 47 counties.
"Team Wanjiku is saying enough is enough. No one is there to protect the unemployed youths and women. We will push for involvement of youth in President Uhuru Kenyatta's Big Four agenda. ," Sonko said.
