The race for political seats in the much anticipated 2022 general election is raging on day by day.
Politicians across the divide are seeking support to contest for big seats in 2022 general election.
The succession politics has sucked in politicians across the political divide and threatens to derail the country's development agenda.
The Coast region has not been left out in the succession debate.
Here are Members of Parliament (MPs) from Coast region who are likely to contest and win governor seats in the 2022 polls.

The ODM MP has established himself as an emerging force in Coast politics.
The vocal lawmaker is never afraid of speaking out his mind on issues facing the Coast region.

The Msabweni MP is likely to bid for the Kwale Governor seat in 2022 election.
2. Aisha Jumwa
The Malindi MP has been described as the iron lady of Coast politics.
Jumwa is among veteran female politicians from the Coast region.
