In other news, former Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho says the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party should be the party that forms the next government.

Speaking to the media in Mombasa today, Joho stated that if he were to vie for the presidency, it would be through an ODM ticket.

“If I express my interest in vying for the presidency, I shall only vie through ODM,” he said.

Joho mentioned that he is working with other ODM leaders from the Western region on how to propel the party forward.

The former governor responded to individuals who stated that he was a new ODM member. He stated that he has faced the most political challenges for standing firm with the ODM party.

“I am a founder member of ODM. When you count the first ten members, I am among them,” said Joho.

“No one has faced political woes because of standing firm with ODM and Raila Odinga more than me,” he added, referring to the party’s leader.

Joho mentioned that there are values that he has inherited from the ODM leader.

“When I began politics in 2004, my leader has always been Raila Amollo Odinga. I have not lost my way, so I know the values of Raila Amollo Odinga,” he said.

His sentiments come after Odinga picked former governors Hassan Joho and Wycliffe Oparanya to lead the party should he succeed in his bid to be the next African Union Commission Chairperson.

Odinga was speaking at an ODM recruitment drive in Wajir County where he asserted that the two leaders had what it takes to unite the opposition and Kenyans at large.
