The Wiper party treasurer seeks to unseat ODM's incumbent Ali Hassan Joho, throughout Wiper ticket.

Awiti dismissed claims that there was a ploy to deny him the ticket, for the party's secretary general, Mombasa senator Omar Hassan, who also eyes same post.

Omar was however quoted saying he would walk with Awiti, side by side, until they unseat Joho.
