The six governors from Coast region will in September meet in Mombasa to strategize on how to secure the region ahead of the 2022 general election.
Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho on Wednesday said the meeting will be used to decide the political direction the region will follow during the 2022 general polls.
He said all the six governors heading the counties will attend the conference that will be held on September 6th. The venue of the conclave has not been revealed.
"On September 6th, we will convene a meeting of all governors and Senators so that we agree on the future of our great region," he said at a press conference in Mombasa on Wednesday.
"What I can say now is that key in the agenda will be the unity of the people of Coast. There are however, other issues that will be discussed."
He expressed optimism that the region will field a presidential candidate during the 2022 poll.
Joho was speaking after he chaired a Coast leaders meeting that was held in Mombasa.
