Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai has urged the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to focus on securing the Kamukunji parliamentary seat in the 2027 General Election, following MP Yusuf Hassan's departure from the Jubilee Party to join the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP). Hassan's defection to DCP, which is affiliated with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, has created a potential competitive race in the Nairobi constituency.
Alai stated that ODM can win Kamukunji if its leadership engages more with residents and strengthens its grassroots structures. The ODM leader emphasized the importance of capitalizing on the opportunity presented by Hassan's move, as the party looks to expand its presence in Nairobi ahead of the 2027 polls.
