A section of Luhya nation identifying themselves as the 'Mulembe Grassroot Leaders'now demands that the Nairobi governor seat should be preserved for them ahead of the August 9, elections. “We know the presidential seat is heading to Nyanza region and where the deputy president's position is heading to. As Luhya community, the Nairobi governor's seat is what we want now,” Shimoli said. The grassroots leaders drawn from the city county's 85 wards endorsed MP Wanyonyi for the governor seat. At the same time, they argued that their community had been overshadowed in the past two general elections in Nairobi.
