Celebrated Media personality Caroline Mutoko has said chances are high Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko will be the next governor of the city.

This comes after Sonko went berserk and attacked his rival Peter Kenneth during a live Citizen TV interview, an event that attracted sharp criticism by Kenyans on social media over his misconduct during the show.

"Can Sonko be governor, oh yes he can, you can even bet on that," she said.

Mutoko said Sonko cannot be dismissed, even though he seemed to have acted silly, mad, and drunk during the interview.

"I just want to remind you that the man was on a script he knew exactly what he was doing even when he was dealing and dancing with the Kikuyu issue, the whole Uhuru-Jubilee issue but then made sure he created a nemesis and focus on him (Peter Kenneth)," she said.

Nairobi senator Mike SonkoMutoko said Sonko can be Nairobi governor because he knows who he is dealing with and understands that politics is emotive and irrational.

"He knows who he appeals to and how he does it, he has learned his craft and has known his stage art. He is like quintessential magicians who knows just when to pull out the rabbit out of the hat," she said.

"He is also very aware that politics is not rational there is no logic to it, it is highly irrational and emotive if it were not so Donald Trump wouldn't be president of what you possibly think is a great and mature democracy," she added.
