Kilifi Senator Stewart Madzayo and ODM Kilifi official Anderson Ngombo publicly declared on Tuesday that they will rally support for Mtengo to retain the Malindi seat come 2017. The endorsement is likely to trigger tensions between Mr Mtengo and Ms Jumwa who are key lieutenants of Governor Amason Kingi. All we want is for the ODM family to remain intact so that we retain the Malindi seat," said Kingi. However it was apparent yesterday that the political honeymoon was over in ODM following the pronouncement by the two leaders. The move has put a load on Kilifi Governor Kingi in trying to quell the tension among the two leaders who had united to defeated Jubilee early this year.
