Nairobi Gubernatorial aspirant Polycarp Igathe’s name has been in everyone’s mouth lately.
Hilarious memes of the Nairobi Governor hopeful have been going viral since last week.
In his response, Igathe described the memes circulating on social media as proof of his willingness to work for residents of Nairobi if elected come August 9, 2022.
During a recent TV interview Igathe was asked whether he had seen the memes, to which he said, “If you look at Nairobi, jobs that require a Governor for example, or manager are very few. This city is primarily made up of and dominated by low-wage workers. The likes of matatu drivers and conductors, waiters, and mama mbogas, just to name a few. That is why my campaign mirrors what the latter do.”
Attempting to relate with the common man, Igathe has boarded a matatu, City Hoppa bus, and a public train, where he sold his vision to commuters. He has also been pictured doing odd jobs around the city.
The father of three has been on a door-to-door kind of campaign with the tagline, IgatheAkoGrao. His campaign has, however, elicited mixed reactions on social media.
