William Ruto’s staunch ally from the Coast Aisha Jumwa has revealed that she has been working behind scenes to bring Mombasa governor Hassan Joho into the hustler camp.
There has been a lot of speculations about Joho’s political stand after he missed Raila Odinga’s Azimio La Umoja campaign at the Coast.
Speaking during a public rally on Saturday December 4th, Jumwa said she will meet the Mombasa governor soon in a meeting that will decide his political future.
The Malindi MP boasted that she managed to convince the likes of Kiambu Woman Rep Gathoni wa Muchomba, Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru to join Ruto’s camp, and as such she bragged that she would persuade Joho to join UDA.
“Everybody is aware I am the one who persuaded Governor Waiguru, Hon Wa Muchomba, and Hon Waruguru to defect to UDA party. Na Je, Joho ambaye tunataka Kijiji kimoja atanishinda?” Aisha Jumwa said.
She added that;
“Next week we shall be convening a meeting with Joho. I wish not to expose more details on this, you will see by your eyes because Form ni Hustler mpaka 2022.”
In a quick rejoinder on Sunday December 5th, Joho assured everyone that he is in ODM to stay. He tweeted to confirm that he will attend Raila’s event in Kasarani where he will formally announce his presidential bid.
