Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has said he only needs one month to work with Polycarp Igathe to make him win the Nairobi gubernatorial race.
Sonko who was speaking to TV 47 on Thursday night, said Igathe would automatically win the 2022 governor race if they had worked together in 2017.
"If Igathe would have worked with me when he was my deputy or even today, he would definitely be the next Nairobi governor," Sonko said.
Sonko, who is eyeing Mombasa gubernatorial seat, said Igathe still stands a chance of winning the city governor seat if he allows Sonko to be in his team.
"I worked all over Kenya when I was the governor and I know very well that I served Kenyanswell, the 40 per cent Igathe is now fighting for would have been easy to get," he added.
Sonko blamed Igathe for not taking that advantage if he knew he wanted to be in the race.
Igathe resigned as the Nairobi deputy governor in 2018.
Through his Twitter handle, he said that he quit to avoid "abusing or betraying my oath of office to Kenyans, Nairobians and my family."
