Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF) leader Kalonzo Musyoka has officially endorsed Nyali MP Mohamed Ali as the United Opposition’s candidate for the Mombasa gubernatorial race in 2027. Speaking during a high-profile rally in Mombasa on Saturday, Musyoka confirmed that the coalition will grant a direct ticket to the lawmaker popularly known as “Jicho Pevu.”
The former Vice President noted that the decision followed extensive consultations with key opposition figures, signaling a unified front to clinch the coastal county’s top seat.
“Wangapi wako tayari kumfanya gavana wa jiji la Mombasa na mimi kwa niaba ya wenzangu, Riggy G, Eugene Wamalwa, JB Muturi na wale wengine. Nina furaha kusema zote tumeungana tumfanye watu wa Nyali na Mombasa, huyu mwungwana, kazi yake ni mulika wezi,” Kalonzo stated.
Musyoka framed the endorsement as a collective move by a heavyweight political circle including former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Eugene Wamalwa, and JB Muturi. He rallied the crowd to support Ali, praising the MP’s track record in exposing corruption as a primary qualification for leading the city.
“Mimi, kwa niaba ya wenzangu natangaza kwamba Mohamed Ali alias Jicho Pevu, tutampa tikiti ya Wiper Patriotic Front, achukue kiti.”
Musyoka defended the move by pointing to the lawmaker’s history of investigative work and anti-corruption advocacy. He stated that this track record makes the legislator the ideal candidate to steer Mombasa’s future, reinforcing that the entire coalition remains committed to supporting his gubernatorial ambition.
