Awiti said he is ready to battle for the Wiper ticket in Mombasa gubernatorial contest against Senator Hassan Omar.

He also exuded confidence that he is the man who can successfully challenge the incumbent Governor Ali Hassan Joho.

"I believe I am the best bet for Wiper to challenge the incumbent since I have penetrated the county. I will stick with Wiper to the nominations and I will easily beat Omar," he said in Changamwe on Sunday.
