In Summary








    As Kenya's 2027 general elections draw closer, the political manoeuvring in the Coast region is already in full swing.

    Prominent figures are expected to contend for the title of the region's political supremo.

    Among the key politicians featured are Amason Kingi (Speaker of the Senate), Gideon Mung'aro (Governor of Kilifi), Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir (Governor of Mombasa), Hassan Joho (Mining CS & Ex-Mombasa Governor), Fatuma Achani (Governor of Kwale), Mohammed Ali (Nyali MP), Mishi Mboko (Likoni MP), and Hassan Omar (UDA Secretary General).

    The unfolding political drama is presented as a battle between those aligned with President William Ruto and those in opposition.

    With just two years remaining until the elections, these influential "titans" are actively strategising to solidify their claim to power in the Coast region, symbolised by the iconic Mombasa tusks.
