Nyali Member of Parliament Mohammed Ali, widely known as 'Moha Jicho Pevu', has officially joined the Wiper Democratic Movement party. The move positions him to contest for the Mombasa governor seat in the upcoming general election.
Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka handed over the party ticket to Ali during a ceremony in Nairobi. The event was attended by several Wiper officials and supporters.
Ali previously belonged to the Democratic Congress Party (DCP). His defection to Wiper is seen as a strategic realignment ahead of the elections. The exact date of the ticket issuance has not been independently verified.
