Former Mombasa gubernatorial aspirant Suleiman Shahbal has officially resigned from the Jubilee Party. Shahbal contested for the county’s top post in the 2017 general elections under the Jubilee ticket, where he lost to the incumbent Governor Ali Hassan Joho. Through his Twitter account, Suleiman said that he is now joining the opposition party ODM. In a previous phone conversation with The Star, Shahbal said the Jubilee campaigns were marred with inhouse problems that made it difficult to succeed. “The 2017 election was very problematic within Jubilee because there were two parallel campaigns being run at the same time,” he said.
