Candidate for President
Hassan Joho
“Chungwa Moja, Maisha Bora”
Orange Democratic MovementAbout
Hassan Joho rose through Mombasa politics to become one of the most recognisable Coast leaders of his generation. As former Governor and a senior ODM figure, he has combined local popularity with national political relevance. His brand is strongly tied to Coast identity, opposition politics, and a confrontational communication style. Even when not in the governor’s office, he remains important because of his network, visibility, and ability to mobilise political attention around Coast issues.
