What you need to know:

  • Mombasa businessman Suleiman Shahbal has been eyeing political seats for as long as many locals recall.
  • Mr Shahbal’s was recently endorsed by Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka to contest the governor position.

For a politician, positioning oneself with the right party coupled with a good bank account before gunning for a seat should be top priority.

In the Coast, the party one chooses is probably the most important thing.
