β€œI will not be able to vie in Kibra, but I wanted to come here today to greet and talk to you and to say I will keep interacting with you to the end,” Rosemary said during an ODM rally in Kibra on Sunday.

Rosemary had declared her interest in the Kibra seatΒ  in 2017 elections but bowed out due to health-related issues.

Before Sunday’s rally, there was a lot of speculation that Rosemary was one of the numerous candidates eying the ODM ticket.
