Nairobi seat must be given to the Luhya Community- Aladwa

Makadara MP George Aladwa has maintained that the Nairobi gubernatorial ticket must be given to a candidate from the Luhya community.

Aladwa has said that the Luhya community can only feel accomodated in the Azimio La Umoja government if one their own is given the mantle to lead Nairobi which controls over 60% of the Gross Domestic Product ( GDP).

” We are saying that matters to do with Nairobi must be left to the Luhya community and there is no need to negotiate about it,”

Aladwa said that the Luhya community has no problem voting for Raila if he appoints a running mate from Mount Kenya region.

” We have no problem voting for Raila because we love him but on the Nairobi issue we are saying that we are not going to negotiate,” Aladwa said.
