Politics is a very interesting game.
Despite the fact that the Coastal region seems to be the opposition's stronghold, Jubilee has not lost it all.
Both Cord and Jubilee have been working day and night to woo voters from this region.
The recent defections by some Cord members is an indicator that Jubilee is a force to reckon in this part of the nation.
Land has been a great point of concern in Mombasa. A few months ago, President Uhuru decided to donate 2,000 acres of his family's land to Coast residents.
Although it looks like a drop in the ocean, someone somewhere will cast his or her vote for the president because of this.
Uhuru spearheaded the resolution of the Waitiki land issue, which had caused conflict in the region for several decades.
Don't you think that a section of the electorate will support him because of the same?
In addition, the government issued residents with title deeds, which they had been asking for for decades.
Although some of the residents turned down the offer alleging that the title deeds were not genuine, someone must have smiled when he or she received the news.
Security has also been a concern among residents, which is why President Kenyatta is doing his best to ensure security is enhanced in the region.
Let us give credit where its due.
