Speaking during a rally in Mombasa on Saturday, April 25, Kalonzo said the decision had been reached in consultation with other opposition leaders, positioning Mohamed Ali alias Jicho Pevu, as their preferred candidate for the coastal county’s top job.
“Wangapi wako tayari kumfanya gavana wa jiji la Mombasa na mimi kwa niaba ya wenzangu, Riggy G, Eugene Wamalwa, JB Muturi na wale wengine. Nina furaha kusema zote tumeungana tumfanye watu wa Nyali na Mombasa, huyu mwungwana, kazi yake ni mulika wezi,” Kalonzo said.
“Mimi, kwa niaba ya wenzangu natangaza kwamba Mohamed Ali alias Jicho Pevu, tutampa tikiti ya Wiper Patriotic Front, achukue kiti”, the Wiper Party Leader added
According to him, Mohamed Ali’s track record in exposing corruption makes him a suitable candidate to lead Mombasa, adding that the coalition was united in backing his bid.
Mohamed is widely known for his investigative journalism work before joining politics, where he built a reputation for highlighting corruption and governance issues.
