Nominated MP Isaac Mwaura has criticised former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth's recent re-entry into the Nairobi governor race.
Speaking through his Facebook page on Sunday, Mwaura termed Kenneth's move as ill-advised and urged him to bow out of the race honourably and try it another time.
"Peter Kenneth, there is great wisdom in knowing when to fight and when to bow out of the race," he said.
"Sonko is our candidate. He may have his flaws but when the contest is over, we all rally behind our nominee," he added.
"You are someone I have backed before in this race but on this one...I think it is an ill-advised move."
Mwaura said that alsthough Kenneth had very good credentials, the writing was already on the wall that Sonko was way ahead of him.
"You will lose only coming a distant third despite your impeccable credentials. You should have lived to fight another day," he added.
