He now joins a growing list of politicians, including Margaret Wanjiru and senator Johnson Sakaja who have already declared their interest in the position.

Tim intends to run for the position on an ODM ticket.

The MP said he believes he has done all he had wanted to do in Westlands—empowered women and the youth, refurbished and equipped schools, invested in education, and worked with the police to improve security.

Wanyonyi succeeded Mwaura as the Kenya Disability Parliamentary Association chairman. 

He has twice been recognized as the best performing MP and was recently voted as the best legislator in Nairobi.
