Ndile had declared interest in the Mavoko parliamentary seat in the 2022 General Election after a failed attempt in 2017.
“I’ll run for the Mavoko seat again; the last time I ran with Jubilee, I received 22,000 votes; I’ll run again; if I had the papers, I’d run for Governor because I know I can work harder than most governors.” the once vocal MP stated during an interview with KTN last year.
