He declared that he will not go for any elective seat in Bungoma, his home county.

“I will henceforth vote at Loresho Primary School in Westlands Constituency. I will be vying for the Nairobi County Senatorial seat in 2022 on an ODM ticket,” Sifuna said in a tweet.

Sifuna vied for the same seat on an ODM ticket in 2017 but lost it to Jubilee’s Johnson Sakaja.

He will be seeking to replace Sakaja who has since declared interest to run for Nairobi gubernatorial seat come 2022.
