In a vibrant gathering marked by chants, cheers, and party colors, the delegates described Aladwa as a grassroots mobilizer, a loyal servant of the Orange party, and a leader who understands the heartbeat of Nairobi’s common mwananchi. The endorsement signals a shift in the political arithmetic of the city, setting the stage for what promises to be a high-stakes and closely watched battle for the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aladwa, a former Nairobi Mayor and long-serving ODM stalwart, welcomed the endorsement with humility and gratitude. In his address, he vowed to prioritize service delivery, restore dignity to the county leadership, and bring an inclusive and pro-people agenda to City Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
