Nairobi senator Mike Sonko has insisted that nothing will ever stop him from contesting for the Jubilee Party ticket to take Nairobi governor's seat.

Sonko said this on Sunday even as Deputy President William held closed-door meetings at the party's headquarters in Nairobi to help strategise more for the county's primaries which have again been postponed to Wednesday.

Accompanied by several aspirants, Sonko said he is assembling an anti-rigging team that wil ensure votes are counted well and that no irregularities mar the Nairobi event.

“I am recruiting over 1,000 youths and women from across all the 17 constituencies of Nairobi to be part of my anti-rigging team.

“They will be distributed across all the polling stations,” he added.

Sonko's  team assembled at Uhuru Park to show their support to the senator who alleged that a number of aspirants were planning to rig the primaries.

He was with, among others, Embakasi East MP aspirant Francis Mureithi, who recently decamped from the Kenneth camp to back the flamboyant senator.
