Hassan Joho’s presidential ambition has received another boost after Rabai lawmaker William Kamoti declared that he will be the first one to vote for the Mombasa governor in 2022.
Kamoti believes that Joho has made many sacrifices for the ODM party and he deserves to be the Kenyan President.
“Joho has the goodwill of Kenyans from all ethnic backgrounds which have motivated him a lot. He has opposed groupings in terms of the Swahili, Mijikenda or upcountry people because this does not help us. I will personally be the first one to vote for Joho,” Kamoti said.
Kamoti’s sentiments have been backed by Mombasa Women Rep Mishi Mboko who said that Joho has strengthened the coastal region because of his good leadership skills.
“Raila Odinga’s team at the Coast under Joho is not shaken. Even now there are many people scrambling for ODM ticket in Kwale County. The Malindi by-election victory demonstrated our strength in this region,” Mboko said.
According to political analysts, Joho stands a better chance of taking over Raila as long as he continues with the same strategy and agility.
However, some leaders have cautioned him against overdoing his political tricks because they can lead to his downfall before 2022.
