Speaking on Wednesday, October 28, Gachagua said Raila Junior had a strong chance of winning a seat in Nairobi, but not if he ran on a ticket associated with Ruto.
“I have seen the son of late Raila Odinga, Raila Junior, wants to contest in Nairobi, and he stands a good chance.
“But I can tell you as sure as December 25 is Christmas, if he comes under William Ruto, he will not get that seat,” said Gachagua.
The former deputy president said Winnie could also win if she ran under DCP, Linda Mwananchi, or Wiper.
“Winnie stands a chance if she comes under DCP, Linda Mwananchi or Wiper. If she comes under Ruto and Oburu, she will go nowhere,” Gachagua stated.
Gachagua also claimed that an alliance between himself, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino would sweep Nairobi’s seats in 2027.
“A combination of Kalonzo, Babu Owino and Gachagua, Nairobi City is gone. Out of the 2.7 million votes, comfortably we will get 2.5 million and all 17 seats. Nairobi City is one term,” he said.
Winnie Odinga has since announced that she will contest the Nairobi Senate seat in next year’s election. The EALA MP said political developments involving incumbent Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna had influenced her decision.
Raila Junior has also announced plans to run for the Kibra parliamentary seat in the 2027 General Election.
