Speaking on Thursday during a voter registration sensitisation exercise around the city, President Kenyatta accused governor Kidero's of failing to deliver on key services to the residents.

"All they have been doing is demolishing small business premises and houses and chasing down boda boda operators instead of implementingpolicies to benefit city residents," the head of state said.

"All of you understand how much you have been failed by the current county government and for you to ensure that you elect the right government, you must register as a voter," he added.

Governor Kidero is set to battle it out with a re-energized Jubilee Party team that includes Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko, Dagoretti South MP Dennis Waweru, Nominated MP Johnson Sakaja, former Presidential candidate Peter Kenneth and former Starehe MP Margaret Wanjiru.

Kidero will be seeking re-election on an Orange Democratic Movement Party ticket.
