Nairobi ODM Senatorial candidate Edwin Sifuna has revealed why he decided to vie the the city's top seat.

Earlier, Sifuna had taken part in ODM nominations for Kandui constituency but lost before resorting to vying in Nairobi.

According to Sifuna, the sham nomination by his ODM party motivated him to vie for the city where he will be facing out with Jubilee's Johnson Sakaja.

"Everybody knows that Jubilee and Cord held sham nominations and i was a victim in Kandui," said Sifuna.

He added that the party had earlier already approached him for the seat before opting for Kandui.

"When the Kandui plan didnt go through, the party asked me to take an earlier position they had offered me," said Sifuna during an interview on KTN.

Earlier, ODM had nominated Chapia Chapia for the highly coveted seat.
