Coast region is likely to massively vote for Jubilee in the 2022 general elections.
This is according to political analyst Peter Ngure who says that the region that has been supporting opposition seems tired.
Ngure argues that recent move by a section of politicians to endorse Deputy President William Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid a clear sign of the region's intentions ahead of 2022.
He adds that the defection of top Coast politicians from opposition parties is also a plus for Jubilee ahead of 2022.
"Coast region is likely to vote for Jubilee in 2022 basing the realignments currently taking place," he said on Tuesday.
The analysts stated that Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya is working hard to turn Coast into a Jubilee zone.
Mvurya ditched ODM party in 2015 before wining re-election in last year’s general election on Jubilee ticket.
Mvurya has been rallying coast residents and politicians to support President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government.
With 2022 political succession politics in play, Coast region remains one of the areas to watch for.
Mombasa governor Hassan Joho and his Kilifi counterpart Amason Kingi are top Coast politicians eyeing the presidency in 2022.
The tow politicians have also been pushing for Coast to secede from the rest of the country on grounds that it has been sidelined by the previous and current government.Why Coast will vote for Jubilee in 2022
