Wajir Governor Ahmed Abdullahi has told off MPs Mohamed Elmi (Tarbaj) and Adan Keynan (Eldas), accusing them of political hypocrisy. Speaking to journalists in his office in Wajir Town on Sunday, Mr Abdullahi said he has fallen out with the two legislators because he decided to manage Wajir County without their interference. We kept them at bay and, God willing, in August we will defeat them," said Mr Abdullahi. Mr Keynan together with Mr Elmi will spearhead Mr Abdi's campaigns. Mr Mohamed Ali Mursal, who came a distant third with 23,000 votes, is currently supporting Mr Abdullahi.
