Mike Sonko was not the right person for the Jubilee Party candidate in the primaries that preceded the 2017 general elections, political commentator John Paul Opuko has said.
This comes at a time when Sonko, now the governor, is facing possible impeachment and numerous court cases over allegations of involvement in graft and theft of public monies.
The analyst says that the controversial county chief was not qualified for the ticket, and might have played some games to clinch it before proceeding to win the main race.
"I don't think Sonko was the preferred candidate for Jubilee but he played his cards smartly," he said in an interview on K24, on Monday morning.
On Sonko's ouster attempt, he said that it's very possible and is not a tall order as it might seem and only needs political will and a daring person who will introduce the motion.
"It is possible to impeach Sonko but it needs political will and the big question is who will introduce the motion," he added.
The gold-loving governor remains condemned to stay out of his City Hall offices, one of the bail conditions he was given by Justice Douglas Ogoti while being released on Wednesday.
