Nyali MP Awiti Bolo claims there is a plot to bar him from contesting for Mombasa governorship on a CORD ticket in next year's elections.

The MP said Mombasa Governor Hassan Ali Joho (ODM) and Senator Hassan Omar (Wiper party) should prepare for tough CORD primaries, and warned of unspecified action if the coalition locks him out.

He claimed his rivals had hatched a plot to paint him and his brand of politics as "divisive and tribal" to lock him out.
