Kilifi Women Representative Aisha Jumwa has assured Cord leader Raila Odinga of women votes in the coast region during next year's general election.
Jumwa said that Coast women are behind Cord and will vote for the coalition in 2017.
The Women Representative accused the Jubilee government of failing to address challenges facing women and locals in the region.
“Jubilee government has failed to empower and promote women welfare and we cannot trust them anymore,” she said at a political rally that was attended by Raila odinga in Garsen on Saturday.
Jumwa pledged to spearhead a campaign to woe women to support Cord ahead of the elections.
She said time has come for coast residents to vote for leaders who will promote their rights.
The Kilifi Women leader further challenged Coast residents to apply for Identification Cards (IDs) in order to be able to participate in elections.
Calls on locals to acquire IDs were echoed by Cord leader Raila Odinga said that the coalition will win easily if its supporters register as voters.
