Likoni member of parliament Mishi Mboko has warned her men opponents to brace for a bruising battle in the Likoni parliamentary seat contest in the August 9,polls.
Speaking at a meeting with youth and women groups from Bofu ward, in Likoni, Mboko said she will be defending her seat through an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party ticket, saying she is ready to give her men opponents a run for their money.
Among the men opponents include politician Hamisi Domoko who has declared to contest for the Likoni seat through a united Democratic Alliance UDA party. But Mboko says she is not afraid, instead, she asks the electorates to re-elect her so that she can finish her projects.
Mboko banks on women and youth empowerment programs she has initiated in her leadership as an MP of Likoni and has pledged to extend her legacy for another five years term should she be re-elected as Likoni Mp.
Mishi was accompanied by Mombasa governor aspirant and Mvita Mp Abdulswamand Nassir in Likoni Bofu ward area on Sunday, where she pledged public address systems for women groups as part of her women empowerment programs.
"I plead with you Likoni people that you give me another chance, we are more than ready to take another five years leadership, even if they come many of them, I will beat them," said Mboko in reference to men opponents seeking the Likoni Mp seat.
Mboko also drummed up support for Abdulswamand Sharif Nassir for Mombasa gubernatorial aspirant, where Nassir is set to battle it out with businessman Suleiman Shahbal. The duo are also set to battle for ODM party ticket.
"Abdulswamand has distinguished himself as a leader with a vision,so as women of Likoni,i ask you not to gamble with your votes, we need a leader who can listen to women challenges and we have already identified one, they will come many of them but make a wise decision,"Mishi urged women in Likoni.
In December ,20,2021 during a tour at the coast, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga praised Mvita MP Abdulswamad Sharif Nassir and his Likoni counterpart Mishi Mboko terming them as his lieutenants in the national assembly.
The legislator vowed to lead grassroots campaigns so that the ODM leader can ascend to Power. Mboko said Odinga is the best bet for presidency owing to his track record.
Mboko further scoffed at Amani National congress leader for joining, declaring to work with deputy president William Ruto.
"Even before they got into politics, Raila Odinga was already in the game, so your move to deputy president William Ruto is not a threat at all,"Mboko said in reference to Mudavadi.
