Kilifi County, the home to the ODM party stalwart in the region, Governor Amason Kingi, has seen the county boss break ranks with his deputy Kenneth Mwakombo.

Mwakombo has even declared that he will challenge his former colleague-turned-foe in the August polls.

There's a possibility that he may team up with Jubilee Party operatives from the county including Kilifi North MP Gideon Mung'aro to deny Kingi a second term in office.

In Tana River County, the youthful Deputy Governor Jire Sayat has publicly accused his boss Hussein Dado of corruption, and has vowed to challenge him in August.

Just like his Kilifi counterpart, he is also plotting his next move and political observers believe that he may team up with former Garsen MP Danson Mungatana to oust the incumbent.

Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho and his deputy Hazel Katana have had a long history of differences.

Katana on Saturday bolted out of the ODM party, accusing her boss of being 'a bully'.

She has since declared running for the county senate seat on a Jubilee Party ticket.

Salim Mvurya of Kwale and his deputy Fatuna Achani have had their differences too.

However, their expulsion from the Orange Party and their subsequent move to Jubilee seems to have cemented their relationship.

In the isolated Lamu County, all has been well for Governor Issa Timmamy and his deputy Kenneth Mugo with the latter pledging his support for his boss until 2022 when he plans to take over from him.
