Renewed attempts to unify the Coast under a new political outfit ahead of the 2022 elections have hit a snag with Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi now blaming Coast MPs for the impasse.

For the first time, Kingi has signaled the possibility of the region going into the next polls more polarized saying his meetings with other Coast leaders have failed to yield any fruits.
