Nyali MP Hezron Awiti has said that the Wiper Democratic Movement is the strongest and most popular party in the Coast region.
Speaking on Saturday in Mombasa where he hosted the party's women top brass, the legislator said the party still controls and commands a huge following in the region.
"As one of the senior party members, I want to remind each and everyone of you that Wiper party remains the party to beat. We are enjoying good support here at the Coast and even across the country," he said.
Awiti who was elected to the National Assembly on a Wiper party ticket, seeks to unseat the current Mombasa County Governor Hassan Joho who is a member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
The Wiper party has 19 elected members of parliament and six women representatives in the current composition of the National Assembly.
