Former Mombasa County youth, gender and sports chief officer Innocent Mugabe has bagged Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) ticket to vie for the Likuyani parliamentary seat.
Initially, Mugabe was the running mate for ODM governorship candidate in Kakamega Fernandes Barasa.
He stepped down for Lugari Mp Ayub Savula who has now taken the position of Barasa's running mate.
“I had a good job but I resigned early this year in my quest to serve my community. My initial plan was to work with people of Likuyani as their MP" said Mugabe after getting the ODM ticket.
Mugabe is among several top officials who resigned from the Mombasa county government to pursue politics.
