According to their tentative plan, Embakasi MP Ferdinand Waititu will vie as governor of the city, Makadara MP Mike Mbuvi Sonko will vie for senator while mayor George Aladwa will vie for the Makadara parliamentary seat. Former Makadara MP Dickson Wathika will relocate and vie for the Mukurweini seat in Nyeri.
