In an interview with NTV, Omari officially declared his candidacy for the position of Senator for the capital city.
Omari expressed belief that Nairobi requires a strong and capable leader, confidently asserting that he is the ideal candidate for the role.
“Nairobi needs a solid person to be the Senator. Sifuna is a solid person, however, over the years, we have seen the people at the helm shift between senatorial and gubernatorial roles, from the days of Sonko, Sakaja, and the rest,” stated Omari.
He lawyer further revealed not only will he vie for on the senatorial seat but also the governorship come 2032.
When asked about potentially competing with incumbent Senator Edwin Sifuna, Omari suggested that Sifuna should consider running for Governor instead.
”Therefore, this is the perfect time for Sifuna to pursue the gubernatorial role. I will be in the race to take over from him so that in 2032, I can be the Governor,” he added.
He also criticised Sifuna for failing to effectively fulfil his mandate, accusing him of neglecting oversight responsibilities concerning Governor Johnson Sakaja’s management of the city.
”Nairobi needs a solid, focused, and articulate leader. This is the city of Africa where the Head of State resides,” he added.
The lawyer however, declined to disclose the political party under which he plans to contest, stating that he is open to vying under any party.
