Mombasa Governor Hassan Ali Joho should be CORD flag bearer

Pick Mombasa Governor Hassan Ali Joho as Cord presidential candidate The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) should stop worrying over who should be the coalition’s flag bearer in the crucial 2017 general election and pick Mombasa Governor Hassan Ali Joho. Cord should not spend months and years dreaming about picking a presidential candidate and explore unlikely possible scenarios that could determine the 2016 election by picking unlikeliest candidates.

Picking the outspoken governor who is also ODMs deputy party leader would spare Cord the current headache of whom to choose between Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula. The three political heavyweights should bite the bullet and appoint another young flag bearer who has the political acumen to defeat President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2017.
