Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar has said that Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) is the only political grouping that can smoke President Uhuru Kenyatta out of office come 2017.
Despite the existence of various political parties in the country, Omar said they do not have the power to end UhuRuto’s term.
Speaking during the leader-members meeting at the Wiper secretariat offices in Lavington, Omar said Cord is strong and capable of making the next government.
“As per our declaration in Tononoka, the coalition is strong. Cord is potentially the only political grouping that can remove Jubilee from power. We, however, need to choose our flag bearer,” he said.
The outspoken senator also expressed his loyalty to Wiper as they look forward to clinching the presidency in the next general election.
“I am a good student of my chairman in terms of coalition building. We have been in this situation several times. So first, we want a structured process. It’s not a question of let’s go to Kisumu today and Mombasa tomorrow, that we make big pronouncements without strategy,” he said.
This comes a few weeks after the Wiper Party endorsed Kalonzo Musyoka as the party's flag bearer.
