Governor Joho cancelled his address to attend to the casualty.
"We cannot proceed. I am told one of our supporters has been hit by a car. Let us go and see if he is seriously injured and help him," he stated.
Earlier on, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) deputy party leader visited the Bangladesh slums, where he rallied the residents to support Opposition Leader Raila Odinga in the August polls.
Governor Joho noted that Mombasa residents had already made their decision to support NASA and as such, Raila should only visit the region for a maximum of two days.
Joho accused Jubilee of hiring brokers and sending them to NASA stating that they were ready and would defeat them.
"We are competing with Jubilee and its brokers, who have been sent to Nasa to fight us from within. We are telling them we are ready," he stated.
Joho is seeking to defend his governorship position and will face off with Wiper Party's Hassan Omar, Hezron Awiti of Vibrant Democratic Party and Suleiman Shahbal of Jubilee Party.
