Another shot at Coast unity but will it hold? [Omondi Onyango/Standard]A group of politicians from the Coast have announced the launch of a new political party, Umoja Summit Party of Kenya (USP).Like other past unity efforts, the new outfit is attracting scorn, approval and anxiety in equal measure. For Coast supremacists, the new party is a vehicle to achieve coastal political unity with the mantra “speaking with one voice” in national politics. They can start by uniting all political parties in the coast region,” she advised. Former Kaloleni MP Gunga Mwinga, says USP can initiate a forum to discuss Coast unity and bring Coast-based parties together to ensure locals have a stake in the new political arrangement.
