Kisauni MP Rashid Bedzimba has laughed of claims that the Jubilee coalition intends to endorse former MP Ananiah Mwaboza as its gubernatorial flag bearer in Mombasa County.
Bedzimba who was speaking during a tour of his constituency on Wednesday, said Jubilee had sensed defeat from a distance and were afraid of fielding a candidate.
“If Mwaboza battles it out with Governor Hassan Joho then let him be prepared to lose as early as 7am in the morning, because his political life is long over,” said Bedzimba.
It is believed that the Jubilee leadership in Mombasa have resolved to endorsing Mr Mwaboza after Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala said he was not interested in contesting for the seat.
Mwaboza is awaiting coronation as the Jubilee flag bearer in a ceremony which is set to take place at Tononoka social hall.
