Joho’s presidential bid has only served to fuel the Coast region’s political divisiveness, especially because he wants to vie on the ODM ticket. At best, Joho’s presidential bid can only be characterised as an attempt to justify ODM’s pretentions to internal democracy. Although they are committed to regional unity, their positions on how to achieve this objective have not been expressly stated publicly. Given that Raila is likely to vie in 2022, Joho’s bid is viewed with a pinch of salt among leaders and communities here. This raises the question: Is Joho’s presidential bid a myth or reality?
