As part of a fresh effort to depose the current governor, Fatuma Achani, in 2027, the Kwale ODM team intends to field one candidate under the Azimio coalition.
The ODM party in Kwale has been finding it difficult to start over since the last general election because its candidate lost to Achani in what they described as a narrow setback.
Former Agricultural PS Hamadi Boga and the other three members of the Azimio coalition were given the task by ODM to take on Achani.
Talks are continuing to persuade additional contenders to band together against Achani, according to James Nyakiti, the organizing secretary for the Kwale ODM.
Along with other candidates that vied for governor in the most recent general election, the party plans to field Boga, former transport minister and current Digo spokesperson Chirau Ali Mwakwere, and former KPA staffer Chai Lung’anzi.
Nyakiti stated that after examining the outcomes of the 2022 governor’s race, it was determined that the three had sufficient votes to remove Achani from office.
According to him, the party is setting up systems to make sure that all the gaps are closed in order to win the next election.
As stated by Nyakiti, following a comprehensive survey, the party realized that a few minor errors had contributed to their defeat; they will not permit this to happen again.
He stated that ODM is committed to assuming all political positions by 2027, therefore Achani and other opponents should prepare for a fierce political struggle.
Per Nyakiti, in an effort to fortify the party, a significant overhaul of the county leadership structure is also underway.
as he tells him, Kwale is a bastion of the ODM, but it lost the seats due to subpar grassroots party administration.
Sheikh Juma Ngao will take Hassan Mwanyoha’s position as the party’s beleaguered chairperson in the wake of the recent upheavals, according to the Kwale ODM team.
There will be significant changes to the grassroots leadership of the ODM following the elections that are set for April.
Leadership posts in the ODM will be awarded to capable people who can lead the party to victory, according to deputy chairperson Shaban Luchesi.
