The governors have sponsored a Bill — the Jumuiya ya Kaunti za Pwani Bill— which they said will be tabled and debated in all the six county assemblies on February 24, 2015.
The economic bloc seeks to bring together Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi, Lamu, Taita Taveta and Tana River counties.
Jumuiya ya Kaunti za Pwani will be officially launched on March 28, 2015 at the Mombasa County Stadium.
Mr Joho said they would deal with those opposed to the union by ensuring they lose their seats in the next elections.
The proposed economic bloc bringing together six counties will be a reality in a few weeks, three governors spearheading it said Tuesday.
The governors have sponsored a Bill — the Jumuiya ya Kaunti za Pwani Bill — that they said would be tabled and debated in all the six county assemblies on February 24 after it is first approved by respective county Cabinets.
