Garissa Governor Nathif Jama has dismissed the recently formed Telamuge Alliance.
The Alliance is a clan-based political outfit that brings together the Abduwak and Samawadhal communities.
“When you speak of clan-based alliances are you trying to exclude other communities just to advance your interest, the kind of politics we want in Garissa in one whose success has to be based on achievements,” he said.
Jama has expressed confidence that he will clinch the gubernatorial seat come August.
“I have no doubt in my mind that the people of Garissa have confidence in my re-election not because of clan orientation but because of my value proposition and in terms of delivering results for them,” added the governor who was elected on a Wiper Party ticket.
The governor was speaking in Garissa Town after receiving his rival-turned-ally Omar Abdi.
Abdi has dropped his gubernatorial ambitions in favour of Jama.
