The entry of former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko into the race to succeed Hassan Joho in Mombasa has continued to ruffle feathers in the political scene.
Former Mombasa senator and UDA governor aspirant Hassan Omar becomes the latest politician to react to Sonko's entry in the hotly contested race.
Speaking during an Iftar hosted by UDA Majengo ward aspirant Nabil Selim on Thursday, Omar termed the entrance of Sonko as an insult to the people of Mombas, arguing that the former Nairobi governor is not his own man but a project of Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
Omar's sentiments come just days after Mvita Mp and ODM aspirant for the governor aspirant Abdulswamad Nassir also accused Kalonzo of meddling in Mombasa politics by fronting Sonko.
The former Senator called on Mombasa residents not to elect Sonko stating that he is not the suitable leader for the county.
"What does he (Kalonzo) take us for?. Let him have some respect for us as people of Mombasa. We are not going to impecah his project (Sonko) as it was it was in Nairobi but we will defeat him in the ballot" said Omar
