Awiti will use the party to vie for Mombasa governor post, in abid to unseat incumbent Hassan Joho.

Awiti recently decamped from Wiper citing unfair nomination process.

"While in Wiper, I announced my intention to vie for governor only for another person to follow my trail just to frustrate the move," Awiti said on Tuesday.

"Many talks were held with a view to finding a candidate. But it seems Wiper was not serious and was only keen on a cats and dogs game," he said.

Awiti said Kalonzo organised for 600 delegates to chose between him and Omar. He said 100 delegates from each of the six Mombasa sub-counties were to take part in the primaries. A date was set but the exercise was cancelled without his knowledge.

"Later, reports emerged that some people from the party had endorsed the other guy (Omar)," said the legislator.
