As the race to find Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s successor intensify’s, queries have been raised regarding the resignation of Polycarp Igathe as the Deputy Governor back in 2018. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) said it had no obligation to gazette the exit of former Nairobi Deputy Governor Polycarp Igathe. Since then the county has never had a Deputy Governor and the former county boss enjoyed his reign, running county affairs as a one-man show. IEBC while responding to the letter said it had never received a formal communication regarding Igathe's resignation. The Chairman said Igathe's exit became apparent on January 22, 2020, after former Nairobi Governor Sonko communicated to them on naming a nominee.
