The latest wave of political wind that is about to sweep across the Coast region may catch ODM leader Raila Odinga flat-footed with one of the allies being unexpectedly at the center of the Orange party rebellion.
After bursting into the political limelight following the death of Kwale Senator Boy Juma Boy in 2017, his younger brother Issa Juma Boy was the ideal candidate to pick up from where his firebrand brother had left. But barely one year later, the young Juma Boy given clearest indication yet that he is working on a borrowed time in ODM.
With Kwale County becoming the epicenter of the anti-ODM wave, the youthful Senator could be as well on his way out of the giant party at least if his recent political activities are anything to go by.
He has in many cases attended majority of Ruto’s political events in the Coast region and was among those who pledged to support him in his2022 State House race.
With Deputy President William Ruto showing insatiable appetite to make inroads in the region, the senator could be the man to ignite the ‘hustler’s tidal wave in the region.
At the height of his political career, the late Juma Boy was Raila’s most trusted ally in the county. Is his brother about to betray what he believed in?
