With 17 days left to the general elections, Nairobi gubernatorial candidate Miguna Miguna has finally hit the ground running.

This comes days after he was ridiculed for running a campaign that was basically confined to live appearances on national television stations.

State House Director of Digital Communication Dennis Itumbi had on Wednesday posted a map of Miguna’s campaign trail of appearances on national television stations.
