Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has indicated strongly the party will field a candidate to run against Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho of ODM. Speaking at a rally in Mshomoroni on Sunday, Kalonzo said Jubilee and its candidate Suleiman Shahbal are their “greatest enemy” in Mombasa. A Wiper candidate will likely divide the Cord/NASA votes, which could give Jubilee an easy victory on August 8, say analysts. Talks within Wiper have been initiated with a view to finding a governor flagbearer, either secretary general Hassan Omar or treasurer Hezron Awiti. Things will be good.”Wiper activists, supporters and aspirants are now demanding a NASA-like Technical and Strategy Committee be formed to strike a deal on the governor candidate.
