The political scene in Nairobi witnessed a rare moment after Nairobi Woman Representative aspirant Esther Passaris of NASA visited her rival and incumbent Rachael Shebesh of Jubilee in hospital.
Despite their highly contrasting ideology and parties, Esther Passaris put aside the rivalry and checked on her 'friend' whom she said was a fellow woman.
She said that politics could not separate her from working for true friendship and girl power.
The ODM party candidate posted a photo where they hugged and smiled while looking into the camera, and attached a moving caption that wished Shebesh quick recovery.
"Earlier this afternoon, I paid a courtesy visit to Hon Shebesh who is recuperating. My supporters and I wish you a full recovery," she said.
Passaris even explained why she bought Shebesh some Chevda after a fan asked.
"Yes. It's what she craved. Indian sweet chevda. I like taking patients what they desire, not the norm: fruits, flowers, lucozade, chocolate," she wrote.
Shebesh has been in hospital nursing a leg injury and this has rendered her absent from the political stage for some time now.
