ย The PM is allegedly keen on wooing Sonko after nominated MP Rachael Shebesh defected to TNA.

ย 

โ€œYes we had a fruitful meeting with the PM. He told us that he is keen to work youthful leaders. We have given him a proposal and if everything goes well, we may find ourselves out of TNA,โ€ Sonko told journalists on Monday evening.

ย 

Sonko however, did not reveal the contents of the proposal. Sonko said they agreed to meet some more.

ย 

โ€œHe was very positive with suggestion of us meeting again,โ€ Sonko said of PM.

ย 

The flamboyant MP is worried that TNA may not nominate him for the Nairobi senator seat as Uhuru is facing pressure from his family to nominate Minister Beth Mugo.

ย 

ย However, Uhuru through his spokesman Munyori Buku denied Sonkoโ€™s claims.

ย 

โ€œUhuru has said from time to time that TNA nominations will be free, fair and democratic. There are no preferred candidates .Let the people decide. That position has not changed,โ€ Buku saidย
