A group of aspirants under Azimio One Kenya alliance from Mombasa have opposed the call by ODM leader Raila Odinga for six-piece voting in the county.

The aspirants mainly from wiper party, Jubilee party, Kanu and the Pamoja alliance party termed the call by Odinga as divisive asking him to recant his statement and apologise.

Addressing the media on Thursday morning, the aspirants demanded to be treated as equal partners in the coalition.

On Tuesday while handing over nomination certificates to ODM candidates from the Coast region at the Treasury square Mombas, Odinga once again called on ODM supporters to vote using the six piece system, by voting for only ODM candidates.

"Raila Odinga is the Azimio one Kenya alliance party leader and presidential candidate , he is not an ODM party candidate . The ODM party no longer has exclusive rights to Odinga, any attempt to claim exclusive rights to Odinga diminishes his candidacy to a party affair." said Mombasa Deputy Governor William Kingi who is eyeing the Mombasa governor seat on a PAA ticket.

Adding " All aspirants within Azimio stand with him, campaign for him and he should reciprocate by standing with them as a father to al. We urge Odinga to shun status quo politicians who are only interested in personal gain."

The aspirants also want to involve in all political activities being spearheaded by the ODM leader in the county.

"We also reject all attempts to zone off the coastal region as this has been used by brokers to advance personal interests in the past. Consequently we call upon the leadership of the Azimio one Kenya alliance to desist from retreating into past zoning practices that have led to division, If any Azimio candidate wins, Baba wins." charged Kingi.

On her part, Wiper party aspirant for the Nyali Mp seat Millicent Odhiambo emphasized the need for Odinga to treat all aspirants equal and campaign for them too.

"Raila made a decision to get into a coalition, he is now in a polygamous marriage and he needs to change his ways and treat all wives and families equal. He is our father." said Odhiambo.

Amina Abdallah, who is eyeing the Mombasa Women representative seat on a Jubilee party called on President Uhuru Kenyatta to also hit the ground and starting campaigning for jubilee aspirants.

"Let the president also come out and start campaigning for his people and if things will not work out then let everyone campaign for themselves and not just one candidate." said Amina.
