Maina\u2019s chose a wig as his symbol, he asked Nairobi voters to look for the wig symbol when they go to vote come August 8th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n The Classic FM presenter explained that he chose to vie for Nairobi Women Rep seat because his audience on radio pushed him to vie for that particular seat.<\/p>\n \u201cMy fellow Kenyans I wanna thank you so so much for the faith you had in me, for more than 10 years \u00a0I have sat on air and addressed issues that regard women in Kenya. And it started as a joke and people kept saying \u201cyou need to run for women representative\u201d and initially I didn\u2019t take them seriously but I realized the demand was real. So after much thought, after much consideration and consultation with Nairobi\u2019s women, with the electorates and with supporters of Classic 105, I decided that this is the time to make a move. If we stay where we are we will never make a difference. And so I initially began the process of being able to be sure that am gonna be on the ballot.
