Nyali Member of Parliament Mohamed Ali has said that he attributes his success to the mentorship of National Super Alliance (NASA) Presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
The lawmaker said that he owes his rise in the political arena to Raila.
He pledged to support Raila until he ascends to power, adding that he will follow his footsteps when it comes to service delivery.
He also defended Raila against rigging claims in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM)
“Raila is my political father. When I was joining politics, I had a four-hour talk with him about it. He took me through his political journey. He allowed me to vie in Nyali and irrespective of what happened in ODM primaries at Nyali, I still view Raila as a father and a man I admire for his ideologies. I want to follow his footsteps to keep his legacy,” he said, as quoted by Baraka FM.
Mohammed also said that his win in the last general elections is a clear indicator that he won the nominations. The lawmaker has been accusing the family of Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho for frustrating him after he won the seat with a landslide.
