Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho has molded himself into an admirable politician across the nation.
His exploits in Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) earned him a deputy chair slot in this great party.
His exploits in Migori and the role he played in the August 2017 polls has made him a political tsunami feared and loved by many.
However, few know his father, Mzee Ali Joho.
The lucky father to the self-proclaimed Sultan is a man who prefers to be away from media cameras.
The last time he made public comments about his son’s politics was in 2016. He explained his current role in Joho’s life when Citizen TV interviewed him.

Another little known fact about Joho is the whereabouts of his mother.
However, Mzee Ali said that Joho’s mother died. He also added that the no-nonesense character Joho has was inherited from Mzee Ali’s wife, mother to the Mombasa Sultan.
The governor has also managed to keep his immediate family away from his engagements.
Despite the scanty details about his family, Joho’s political star keeps shinning brighter.
He has sent political shivers down the spine of 2022 presidential apirants. He has even dared Deputy President William Ruto and compared his political might to be similar to what Joho has done.
