A section of Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) in Mombasa have publicly reaffirmed their unwavering support for Governor Abdulswamad Sheriff Nassir, pledging to back his leadership ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Speaking on Saturday during a bursary issuance event presided over by the Governor, the leaders praised his administration’s development record and urged residents to remain united behind his leadership.

Bofu Ward MCA Juma Manuari declared that Mombasa has one clear leader, emphasizing that Governor Abdulswamad has demonstrated his commitment through service delivery.

“As the people of Mombasa, we only have one leader, and that is Governor Abdulswamad Nassir. We will ensure he returns to office in the next election because he has proven his work. To those opponents moving around making noise, they should cool down because they are going nowhere,” said Manuari.

Chaani Ward MCA Frank Hosana also lauded the Governor’s development agenda, encouraging him to remain focused despite criticism from political opponents.

“To our Governor, continue delivering to the people of Mombasa and do not focus on critics. They will always have something to say, but we, as your foot soldiers, will stand firm with you,” Hosana stated.

Mjambere Ward MCA Amriya Juma echoed similar sentiments, noting that the current focus should remain on development rather than early political campaigns.

“This is not yet campaign season. Governor, continue serving the people of Mombasa. When the right time comes, we will address the political landscape properly. You have already achieved significant progress across nearly every sector despite existing challenges,” Amriya said.

Mkomani Ward MCA Eliud Kimari highlighted the Governor’s visible development record across the county, saying residents would ultimately judge him based on his achievements.

“The Governor has taken development to every corner of Mombasa, and his work is visible. This is what the people will use to judge his leadership in 2027. As MCAs, we pledge our support and will continue standing with him in service to the people,” Kimari affirmed.

The bursary issuance exercise formed part of the county government’s broader efforts to support education and uplift vulnerable families, while also serving as a platform for local leaders to express confidence in Governor Abdulswamad’s administration.
