What you need to know:
- Governors Joho (Mombasa), Kingi (Kilifi) and Timammy (Lamu) said any elected leader who is opposed to the commonwealth of coast counties should be prepared to face the electorate.
- Mr Joho told the gathering that those opposed to the union would lose their seats come the 2017 General Election.
- Similar sentiments were shared by Mr Kingi and Mr Timammy, who joined Mr Joho to clear the air that Jumuiya ya Kaunti za Pwani is not a political party.
- The sole goal of the leaders is to empower the people of Coast, he added.
Coast leaders spearheading establishment of Jumuiya ya Kaunti za Pwani Sunday warned their colleagues opposed to the idea to prepare for battle.
Addressing the first rally of the union on Lamu Island, Governors Hassan Joho (Mombasa), Amason Kingi (Kilifi) and Issa Timammy (Lamu) said any elected leader who is opposed to the commonwealth of coast counties should be prepared to face the electorate.
