Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko sparked confusion on social media after photos of him in an Orange t-shirt christened with an image of Raila Odinga went viral on social media.
The polo-shirt branded Heshima kwa Rao (Respect to Raila) left many questioning whether the Senator was defecting from Jubilee to join the Opposition.
However, Sonko on Friday rubbished the insinuations stating: “Niko Jubilee Milele haters spreading that Photoshop T-shirt should see my motorcade tomorrow and Saturday Niko Jubilee.”
The flamboyant Senator noted that the images had been photoshopped and went ahead to post the real picture.
The allusion of Sonko endorsing Odinga came at a time when President Uhuru Kenyatta andWilliam Ruto plan to launch their Jubilee Party at the Kasarani Stadium which will have 12 parties fold into one.
At the same time, the Opposition will be holding a mega-event to celebrate ODM’s 10th Anniversary in Mombasa.

Sonko changes tune on ditching Jubilee and joining Cord
Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko has denied claims that he will ditch Jubilee for Cord ahead of next year’s elections.
The Jubilee affiliated senator said that he is loyal to his party and that he will be drumming support for President Kenyatta and his deputy Wiliam Ruto.
Mr Sonko denied media reports claiming that he will join the Cord coalition next year if Mr Kalonzo Musyoka clinches the presidential ticket.
The senator said he was misquoted by media when he attended the funeral of the father of Mavoko MP Patrick Makau last weekend.
Speaking after a church service at ACK St Andrews in Gathinja area of Kiharu, Sonko said that he was mocking the Cord leaders and being sarcastic about their chances of winning the next General Election.
