Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>City politician Karen Nyamu has officially been endorsed by Deputy President William Ruto to contest the Nairobi Senate seat on a UDA ticket in the upcoming 2022 General Election.<\/p>\n

The city lawyer was welcomed to the party by Ruto on Monday, November 29, in a meeting graced by LSK president Nelson Havi and EALA MP Simon Mbugua at the DP’s official residence in Karen.<\/p>\n

“I was honoured to be officially endorsed by the UDA party to contest for Senator position in Nairobi County 2022.<\/p>\n

“We fully support William Samoei Ruto’s vision to change our economic model in the interest of Kenyans. Mpango ni bottom-up(Bottom-up is the plan),” she stated.<\/p>\n

The development came a few days after Havi officially announced he had joined UDA and the Ruto-led Hustler Nation.<\/p>\n

Nyamu, who has been the subject of a publicised relationship with a local musician, had recently expressed confidence that she would get the resources to mount a serious campaign in 2022.<\/p>\n

“As I can tell you now, I’ll be vying in 2022, you might think I have a million in the bank for campaigns. The reality is I will spend a million on the ground, from wherever it shall come from. Let me tell you, Jeff, I believe in myself.” she affirmed.<\/p>\n

The Nairobi Water and sewerage director was an aspirant for Nairobi Women Representative where she unsuccessfully sought the Jubilee party ticket in 2017.<\/p>\n

She lost in the nominations to Rachael Shebesh who vied on a Jubilee ticket but lost to incumbent Esther Passaris of ODM.<\/p>\n
