Nyali MP says he’s ready to lose seat defending William Ruto

by Enock Ndayala

Nyali MP Mohammed Ali has said he is ready to lose his parliamentary seat defending Deputy President William Ruto.

Speaking during a rally in Mvita Constituency on Monday, December 20, Nyali MP said he will not be coerced to support nor celebrate ODM leader Raila Odinga’s Azimio la Umoja ‘nonsense’.

 “We will not celebrate nonsense; we are ready to lose our seats. We are told that in the coastal region that if you don’t support Raila Odinga you won’t get elected. I will stand with the people and if I don’t get elected fine, provisions come from God,” the legislator said.

The vocal legislator further warned residents of the coast against branding ODM leader Raila Odinga as ‘Baba’ saying ‘baba’ “wa kuletewa hatutaki.”

“We also have our leading leaders in the forefront of justice who include late Ronald Ngala, Karisa Maitha, and Mekatilili Wa Menza who fought for Coastal justice and democracy. What should we call them, they are our fathers,” Mohammed Ali said.

The poor relationship between former Prime Minister and former KTN investigative journalist Mohammed Ali began prior to the 2017 General Election after he quit Raila’s party ODM saying he was rigged out in the party’s primaries by Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho.

“Unfortunately, powerful and destructive elements within the ODM party are keen on building a legacy in Mombasa with its foundations in nepotism, personal and family benefits,” he said.

Ali commonly known as Jicho Pevu letter vied for the Nyali parliamentary seat as an independent candidate where he was with a landslide.

Ali will be seeking to be re-elected as the Nyali MP on a United Democratic Alliance ticket in the 2022 General Election.
