As Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho's 10-year tour of duty ends, focus shifts to the bulging in-tray for the incoming county chief Abdulswamad Nassir.
On Tuesday, August 30, Nassir of ODM won after garnering 119, 083 votes, beating his close challenger Hassan Omar of United Democratic Alliance (UDA) who got 97, 108 votes.
After he was declared the winner, Nassir told The Standard that he will take a team of young people with energy to deliver the promises he made to the people of Mombasa. "I'll use the same energy that young people in my secretariat have shown to turn around the fortunes of Mombasa," said Nassir, adding that he will build on Joho's legacy to spur the economy of the county.
