Kilifi Jubilee governor hopeful Gideon Mung’aro has asked the incumbent, Governor Amason Kingi, to prepare for an embarrassing defeat in Tuesday’s election.
Speaking in Kilifi town on Saturday during his final campaign rally, Mung’aro said he will humiliate Kingi, whom he accused of riding on ODM to survive politically.He termed the Governor a Raila Odinga sycophant, adding that his time in office is up.Mung’aro accused Kingi of failing to deliver his mandate as governor, and instead focusing on propagating NASA politics.“My friend Kingi should prepare to hand over power on Tuesday next week because he has failed Kilifi residents as their governor,” said Mung’aro, as quoted by the Nation.The Jubilee point man in the county promised to bring the change residents have been yearning for if elected, adding that he will fight for the interests of residents and push the county’s development agenda forward.“I am bringing hope and a new dawn if you elect me as your next governor,” said the ODM rebel MP.Mung’aro at the same time urged residents to vote for President Uhuru Kenyatta, arguing that his government has achieved much in terms of development and deserves a second term.Mung’aro is seeking to unseat Governor Kingi of ODM on a Jubilee party ticket.Others in the race include former Labour CS Kazungu Kambi (Kadu Asili) and James Kahindi who is vying as an independent candidate.
