Mombasa governor Hassan Joho has been urged to ditch the National Super Alliance (NASA) after he was sidelined in the opposition's presidential line-up.Kaya elders from the coastal region said the ODM deputy party leader should abandon the coalition because he was overlooked in the power-sharing deal.“We urge our son (Joho) to move out of NASA because he was not given any post. NASA has no party that owes its origin in the Coast, unlike other co-principals,” said Kaya elder Rama Mwangombe.Chairman of Mijikenda Kaya Elders Council Abdalla Mnyenze, said they are disappointed in the manner in which power was shared as they feel Coast region was left out.Mnyenze threatened to lead the region in mass walk-out of the opposition alliance to President Uhuru Kenyatta-led Jubilee Party.“The coastal people have been politically misused by the past regimes and I believe this is our time to show them that we also exist,” he said.NASA recently named ODM leader Raila Odinga its presidential flag bearer, with Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper) as his running mate.Musalia Mudavadi of ANC will be Premier Cabinet Secretary deputised by Moses Wetang'ula (Ford Kenya) and Chama Cha Mashinani's Isaac Ruto.
