With less than one year to the next general election, Mombasa residents are wondering whether Governor Hassan Joho will retain his seat.
Several politicians have already declared interest in the county's gubernatorial race, with the aim of unseating Joho.
One aspirant whom we cannot ignore is Anania Mwaboza.
As much as the political situation in the nation has changed, Mwaboza remains a great threat to Joho.
In 2005, he beat Governor Joho in the Kisauni parliamentary by-election.
This time round, Mwaboza will be banking on his populous Mijikenda Community as well as residents who have migrated to the coastal region to smoke out Joho and his team from office.
Mwaboza not only has the numbers, but the experience to outdo Joho in the forthcoming elections.
It will not be surprising if Mwaboza pulls a Trump on Joho in the 2017 polls.
The outspoken politician has affirmed that he is going for nothing but a win.
Some of the issues he will address upon election include land, security, unemployment, water shortage among others.
