It is sad to lose a brother in a road accident. But for Mr Mohamed Mdigo, the death of his elder brother, Rabai MP William Kamoti on May 29, can aptly be described as a ‘second shot’ to life.  

In 2002, Mr Mdigo’s uncle, Mr Patrick Kamoti died weeks after his win in the Mugumo Wa Pasa ward in the then larger Kaloleni constituency. Mwamkale clan chose Mdigo to contest in that by-election.
