On 15 June 2018, Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho signaled that he was prepared to work with President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga, marking a notable political shift in the coastal county.
Joho made the remarks after hosting Kenyatta in Mombasa during the opening of Dongo Kundu. The event placed the governor alongside the president at a time when relations between the two had often been politically tense.
The source material does not provide a longer transcript of Joho’s comments, but it makes clear that the governor publicly expressed readiness to cooperate with both national leaders.
Nyakundi Report notes that the development was significant because it involved Joho, one of the most prominent opposition figures on the coast, appearing to open a working relationship with the Jubilee administration and with Raila Odinga.
