"I have only one message to Igathe. If these people give you your votes to be the governor of Nairobi we don't want to come here and see litters all over."

"We want to see you working. And let me tell you if you fail to do that work Raila's whip will land on you. The Azimio government will work to ensure that your environs and standards of living have changed," she noted. 

Further, Raila rooted for a six-piece voting pattern in Nairobi to secure more slots in parliament in the coming government.

The ODM party leader exuded confidence in bagging votes in the constituency, terming Kibra as his political bedroom. 

"I want you to come out in huge numbers and spread the news that Kibra is my bedroom and I know my votes are here. I want my votes from here to be 100 percent," Raila stated.

The Nairobi gubernatorial race pits nine candidates; Agnes Kagure (independent), Nancy Wambui (Usawa kwa Wote), Kenneth Nyamwamu (United Progressive Alliance)Cleophas Mutua (Ford Kenya), Harman Singh (Safina). 

Others include Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja (Kenya Kwanza), Esther Thairu (Independent), Dennis Kodhe (Liberal Democratic Party) and Igathe.
