From all indications, the Nairobi gubernatorial seat has attracted interests from both sides of the major political formations. In the run up to the 2013 elections, most Nairobians favored governor Kidero owing to the fact that his arch rival Ferdinand Waititu was too militant to run Nairobi. In the coming elections, the Jubilee party must play its cards very well if they are to snatch the seat from Cord. His service to the people of Nairobi especially through his Sonko rescue team has endeared him to the common mwananchi. In the 2013 elections, he garnered more votes than most of the presidential aspirants and even the Nairobi governor.
