The Kenyan voters are hopelessly and irreedemably tribal. What you are calling sonko's target group is a mythical voting block that doesn't exist.
When you have time, go through the IEBC 2013 results. Do you know Raila got 692K votes in Nairobi. Kidero got 691K. The 8 ODM MPs and those who ran on cord affiliate parties and lost got a total vote almost equal to RAO. Ditto MCAs. But when it comes to senator, a good chunk left cord and voted sonko. When you track those votes to specific wards, you see wiper MCAs winning in those wards.
Uhuru got 659K votes. Waititu and Jimnah got 669K. Their MPs and MCAs got a number close to that.
But their senator got an extra and mysterious 130K votes.
