Mombasa gubernatorial aspirant Suleiman Shahbal has said that the defeat of Governor Hassan Joho will mark the final liberation of the county from poor leadership.
Speaking at Tononoka grounds on Saturday ahead of the party's grand rally on Sunday, Shahbal said Mombasa residents have continued to suffer under corrupt leaders, adding that time has come to replace them with visionary leaders like himself.
The outspoken politician said that the Sunday rally at the Tononoka Grounds marks the beginning of change.
“It will be the beginning of the change we have been waiting for in Mombasa. We are staring at the final liberation of Mombasa. We are getting rid of all the nonsense,” said Shahbal, as quoted by the Star.
Shahbal also bashed Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho for planning to hold a parallel rally to drum up support for Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) leader Raila Odinga.
“Let them hold their rally. We have no problem with that. They can even hold 10 rallies. Last time we held a rally here, the whole of Mombasa attended," he said.
