Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho, Kilifi’s Amason Kingi and Kwale’s Salim Mvurya are all serving their second and last terms but their political shadows will loom large in their succession battles. Joho, who is the ODM deputy party leader, remains influential in Mombasa and his political direction will have an impact on the contest. It's telling that Kalonzo endorsed Shahbal, yet there is a Wiper MP in Mombasa seeking the party’s ticket for the seat. KWALE COUNTYIn Kwale, Governor Salim Mvurya has endorsed his deputy, Fatuma Achani to succeed him. “When you worship a political party you will dance to the tune of that party but when you have the people you will meet their needs,” Baya said.
