Hon. Tim Wanyonyi has been instrumental in consolidating ODMโs dominance in Westlands Constituency.
Under his leadership as the current ODM Chairperson in Westlands, the party won all ward-level MCA seats, including Kangemi, Kitisuru, Mountain View, and Parklands, with Karura won by an Azimio coalition affiliate.
His personal victory in the Westlands parliamentary race saw him garner over 30,000 votes more than his closest UDA challenger, further underscoring his popularity and the trust voters place in him.

Hon. Wanyonyiโs loyalty to ODM is unparalleled. Since the partyโs formation in 2005, he has remained a steadfast supporter and financier. As a nominated councillor in 2007 under ODM, and through his three consecutive wins as Westlands MP in 2013, 2017, and 2022, his allegiance has been unwavering.

Despite his grassroots popularity and ODMโs dominance in Nairobi, Hon. Wanyonyi put the coalition’s unity above personal ambition.
