Hate him or love him, Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho’s political stars are shining bright.
The governor is a man on the rise.
This comes after he was bestowed the mandate to mobilise citizens around the country to vote for ODM party leader Raila Odinga in 2017.
The self made man started his political career when he vied for Kisauni Member of Parliament and emerged the winner.
His influence and determination made him be rewarded the position of an assistant minister.
Joho is working hard to assume more responsibilities in the party as he looks forward to vying for presidency.
The flamboyant and fearless governor has become more popular because of his track record and policies that seem to favour minority communities in the nation.
Joho has been one of the greatest Jubilee critics for years, which has made him win the hearts of many Kenyans in various parts of the nation.
The recent political developments in the country have also favored his rise.
If the political situation in the nation remains the same, Joho is likely to be Raila's successor.
The fact that the Nyanza region has not identified a leader who can fit in Raila's shoes, perfectly favours Joho’s presidential dream.
