Nairobi Governor-elect Johnson Sakaja was accompanied by his children for his swearing-in ceremony on Thursday, August 25.
The outspoken politician showed up at KICC in the company of his children; two sons and a lovely daughter.
Sakaja’s sons rocked grey suits complicated by black ties and shiny black pair of shoes while his daughter wore a pink sweater on top of a pink dress.
The four walked down the red carpet as people clapped while journalists took pictures of them.
On elections day, Sakaja was accompanied by his son to St George’s Primary School where he cast his vote.
Sakaja arrived at the polling station at around 2 pm and joined the queue with other electorates.
His son who walked by his side had dreadlocks, a white t-shirt and black trousers.
Photos online showed the young man following his dad as he went through the voting process; which includes being confirmed on the KIEMS kit, marking ballot papers and putting papers into the ballot boxes.
