Kabogo was defeated by Waititu in 2017. Waititu lost control of Kiambu county after he was impeached by the county assembly.
The youthful candidate, a highway engineer by profession has attracted support of the young and majority being university students .
They are following their own effective leadership to enable the city reclaim its former glory.
In the contest, ODM is working to produce a deputy governor after an agreement that Jubilee Party will produce a candidate for the governorship position.
