ODM Party Leaderand Azimio La Umoja presidential Candidate Raila Odinga has called on Mombasa residents  to embrace six piece voting to ensure that the ODM Party carries the day in the county in the August 9 General Election. 

According to Odinga, it will be unfair for residents to elect him as president and fail to elect ODM leaders arguing that was the only way to make the party strong and make work easy for him once he takes over the government.

“I don’t want to be a general without an army. I need my foot soldiers in the County Assembly, National Assembly, Senate and most importantly, the Governor so as to be able to deliver on my vision for the country." said Odinga.

Odinga was speaking at the Caltex grounds in Likoni where he paraded all ODM candidates from the county led by Mvita Mp Abdulswamad Nassir who is eyeing the Mombasa governor seat.

"As you can see these are my foot soldiers here in Mombasa, we have Mishi, Abdulswamad, Badi Twalib (Jomvu) , Said Abdallah (Nyali) so do not let me down" argued Odinga

On his part, Nassir committed to comb every blade of grass in the entire county to rally the people of Mombasa to meet a minimum turn out of 95% in the election to ensure victory for Azimio.

Odinga was accompanied by other Azimio leaders including his running mate Martha Karua, Mombasa governor Hassan Joho, Kitui governor Charity Ngilu, Suna East Mp Junet Mohammed former Gatanga Mp Peter Kenneth among others.
