Just a few a hours after an opinion by Trend and Insight for Africa (Tifa) released results that showed Nairobi incumbent governor Evans Kidero leading the gubernatorial race, his rival Senator Mike Sonko has responded.

Senator Mike Sonko has welcomed the latest opinion poll which stated that Kidero's popularity  is at 44 percent compared to Sonko's 43.

"We welcome the poll, but we are aware that it was not representative. Even Hillary Clinton led Donald Trump but she still lost," he added.

However, Sonko urged his supporters not to be discouraged by the results of the polls because he was sure of a win come August 8.

"My supporters should not worry because this only means that we need to double our efforts. We are on course to winning the seat," said Sonko.
