Mombasa Woman Representative Mishi Mboko has exuded confidence in winning the Likoni parliamentary seat.

The lawmaker is eyeing the constituency seat after serving one term as a County MP.

Speaking in a recent interview with the Daily Nation, Ms Mboko noted that she has all it takes to win in the male-dominated race.

“Politics is all about competition and I have all it takes to fight it out for the seat and, ultimately, the people have the final say and they know who their true representatives are,’’ she said.

The outspoken legislator will be vying on the ODM Party ticket, after beating her closest challenger Hamisi Domoko during the primaries.

The seat has also attracted the interest of seasoned politicians, including Wiper's Suleiman Shakombo and Jubilee Party's Masoud Mwahima.
