ODM party leader Raila Odinga’s presidential bid has been marred by many challenges.
However, many say Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has been the missing link to Raila’s puzzle to State House.
There is no doubt that the party's decision to have Joho spearheading Raila’s campaign is a well-thought move.
His presence in the campaign will attract youth from different parts of the nation to vote for the movement.
Joho is better placed to attract a large fraction of young voters compared to other leaders in the party.
In addition, the minority communities are more likely to vote for Raila with Joho leading the campaigns.
Since his election, Joho has been a performer. Despite facing a number of political challenges, the governor has used his prowess to overcome them with ease.
He is one of those politicians who can speak in any part of the nation and people listen.
Joho’s great influence and oratory ability makes him a man of the people.
With such a leader spearheading ODM’S campaign, Uhuruto will definitely have sleepless nights.
This became clear when he wooed voters to support ODM during the Malindi by-election.
