Hassan Joho has continued pushing for candidature of opposition leader Raila Odinga by insisting that it is only the veteran politician who can beat Jubilee administration.
Opposition outfit NASA is yet to name its flag bearer with only five months to election, a move that has caused anxiety among its supporters.
But on Sunday, the Mombasa Governor used NASA co-principals to back Mr. Odinga saying the combination will beat Jubilee flag bearer Uhuru Kenyatta.
“Let us not hide from it because time is running out. Raila is capable of beating this administration that has crippled our economy.
“I urge NASA supporters to get behind him and finish this business quickest. He is the right man for the job,” added Joho.
Last week, storm brew in the opposition alliance when National assembly Minority Leader Francis Nyenze threatened that Kalonzo Musyoka’s wiper party could bolt of the opposition if he is not named flag bearer.
In the Kibra meeting though, Odinga skipped addressing suspected troubles in NASA and only maintained that the opposition will have a parallel tallying centre in August.
