Sandra “Thickyy Sandra” Sonko Cheers On Father Mike Sonko’s New Political Party Launch
In a show of family solidarity, Sandra Sonko—popularly known on social media as Thickyy Sandra—publicly endorsed her father’s latest political move, signaling a new chapter for the former Nairobi Governor.
The moment came shortly after Mike Sonko was formally issued a certificate of full registration for his National Economic Development Party (NEDP) by the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) at their Westlands, Nairobi headquarters.
Taking to her Instagram, Sandra reposted the official announcement with a caption that read simply, “let’s run it,” followed by a string of celebratory emojis. The post quickly drew attention from her considerable following, blending family pride with political symbolism.
The registration marks a significant legal and organizational milestone for Sonko, who has remained a vocal figure in Kenya’s political discourse since exiting elective office. The certificate grants NEDP the authority to recruit members, establish offices, engage in political activities, and field candidates in future elections.
While Sonko has expressed the party’s intention to participate in national affairs, he has not yet detailed specific strategies or candidates under the new banner. Political observers note that the timing positions NEDP to actively participate in the country’s evolving political calendar.
Sandra, who maintains a strong and influential online presence, often uses her platform to highlight family achievements and engage with content related to her father. Her latest reaction has added a personal touch to the public conversation surrounding Sonko’s political resurgence.
Mike Sonko, formerly a senator and governor, has stayed engaged through media appearances and public forums over the past year, often hinting at future political ambitions. The launch of NEDP now provides a structured vehicle for those ambitions.
As the party transitions from registration to active operations, all eyes will be on its next moves—and on whether the “let’s run it” spirit translates into a tangible political campaign.
