ODM Party Leader Raila Odinga has declared that Ali Hassan Joho is fit to lead the country.
Odinga on Friday evening arrived in Mombasa after Madaraka Day celebrations at Kinoru Stadium in Meru, following invitation from President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto.
Governor Ali Joho hosted Odinga for Iftar dinner at Serani grounds where Odinga made the declaration which was welcomed by several Muslim leaders from coast region and North Eastern Kenya.
Odinga continued to emphasize the role of building bridges amongst all the citizens.
He wished all the Muslims the best as they observe Ramadhan, saying: "I would like to wish all Muslims the very best as they continue with fasting and other acts of worship in the Islamic holy month. Ramadhan Mubarak and Saum Maqbul."
"I wish to say that during this holy month of Ramadhan, it is our duty to spread the message of unity and harmony amongst all the people that live in this country," added Joho.
Flanked by his Deputy William Kingi, Mvita MP Sharrif Nassir Abduswamad alongside other local leaders, Joho supported Raila's proposed constitutional amendments ahead of the 2022 general elections.
"I also wish to remind all of us, that for our unity to last, and in order for us to avoid divisive elections in the future, it is important that we relook at the clauses in our constitution that serve to divide us. May God bless you all," he told Muslim faithful during the Iftar.
Joho seeks to vie for presidency through an ODM party ticket in 2022 and faces opposition from Ruto, Wycliffe Oparanya, Kalonzo Musyoka among other leaders.
