On her part nominated Senator Millicent Omanga termed Sakaja, Wanyonyi's meeting as a clear indication that the two were ready to work together ahead of the August 9, general polls.
"Nairobi county is done!" stated Senator Omanga on her Twitter page.
According to reports, Tim Wanyonyi was to deputize Polycarp Igathe, but stood his ground saying hit was either the governor's post or nothing.
He reportedly decided to go back to his West Lands constituency despite efforts by a number of ODM leaders to convince him otherwise.
While addressing the press, Senator Sakaja said everybody has all the right to make their own political choices without interference by the government.
He termed Igathe as Deep State and State House project, saying he was the people's project and was going to triumph over Igathe in August.
"Everybody has a right to make whatever political choice they want. People have paid the ultimate price for it including shedding blood. No government or Kenyan should force you to change your political persuasion as some people have done in Azimio" stated Sakaja
