\u201cThe RACE IS ON!100%Hon John Ochoti is IEBC Verified and Approved.

In an interview after being cleared by the IEBC, said he was now ready to fight for the senatorial seat and ready to battle anybody in the race to the Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cThe race has now officially kicked-off, I\u2019ve been to the ground and talked to the youth, women, the disabled, business community about my intentions to vie and now that I have been cleared I will now traverse Nairobi in a vote hunting mission.
Ochoti challenged his rivals in Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya Alliance to stop hanging on to the coalition\u2019s presidential candidate Raila Odinga by using his name in their campaigns to get votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cNairobians are wondering why those interested for the Senate in Nairobi are busy campaigning in caravans with the Raila who is seeking for the presidency instead of going to the grassroots to talk about their agenda for Nairobi,\u201d he said<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Ochoti said the candidates are not confident about winning that\u2019s why they are in Raila\u2019s campaign trail with the hope that the former Prime Minister will campaign for them too bt mentioning their names and asking voters to vote them in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cLet\u2019s give Baba a break by allowing him to concentrate in his campaigns for the presidency instead of distracting his focus and attention by wanting to divide his attention by campaigning for them,\u201d he said<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n


He added\u201d\u201cLet\u2019s campaign by explaining our vision, mission, manifestos and agenda that we or the people of Nairobi instead of using Raila\u2019s name in our campaigns. We are not seeking to go to the Senate for Raila but for Nairobians.\u201d
Ochoti said he is ready to serve Nairobians as their Senator and he knows their challenges after traversing the city and listening to them and also seeing saying he has solutions of making Nairobi restore its lost past glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
