Wiper Democratic Movement Deputy Party Leader Farah Maalim and Amani National Congress Deputy Party Leader Captain Abdi Yare are coming together to form an alliance to unseat the current Garissa Township MP Aden Bare Duale in the August 2017 general elections.
Speaking to this writer, Captain Abdi Yare said that the formation is to give Aden Duale a very tight race during elections by lining up only one candidate and get the support of the other.
“I and my brother will agree and form a strong team to reclaim Garissa Township from some people. We shall support one another,” Cpt Abdi said.
However, Abdi Yare did not reveal who will vie against Duale, as they are still on the negotiation period but was hopeful they will come up with one candidate before the elections.
"We have not yet decided who to contest for us during elections but we will have a candidate before the elections," added Abdi Yare.
