Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has been urged to vie for Nairobi gubernatorial seat in the 2022 general election.
According to popular Jubilee party blogger Pauline Njoroge, Kabogo should vie in the city, in consideration that Nairobi 'exported' governor to Kiambu.
She referred to the move by Kiambu incumbent Governor Ferdinand Waititu to shift his political base to Central Kenya from Nairobi where he vied for the top seat in the 2013 polls.
Before vying for Kiambu governor, Waititu was Member of Parliament for Kabete, a seat he inherited from his predecessor George Muchai who was murdered in cold-blood in 2015.
Previously, Waititu served as MP for Embakasi Constituency and as a civic leader in Njiru Ward.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Njoroge urged Kabogo to shift his political base to Nairobi and run as the chief executive officer of the country's capital city.
She noted it would be very interesting to have Kabogo contesting against the incumbent Governor Mike Sonko, who will be seeking reelection to serve his final term.
"Nairobi exported a governor to Kiambu county. I am thinking it’s time my home county returned the favour. Kabogo should drop Kiambu politics and come to Nairobi. That would make 2022 'veeeeeery' interesting in this city. The sale of popcorn would triple," the popular blogger posted.
Despite a section of Kiambu residents have been asking Kabogo to make a comeback, the flamboyant politician has repeatedly refused to be drawn into the debate, arguing it was too early to start 2022 politics.
However, in a recent interview on Kameme FM, Kabogo hinted at vying for presidency in the next general election.
"I might be on the ballot in 2022 but as I have repeatedly said it is early to start talking about an election which is four years away. We have just come out of another poll, now is time to work," he remarked.
