Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho on Sunday caused drama in the coastal town as he jetted back from the United States (US) where he had been for more than two weeks.
The excitement began at the Moi International Airport where hundreds of his supporters clad in ODM-branded material were waiting for him.
Upon his arrival, the procession moved to Akamba Handicrafts, Changamwe constituency where Joho addressed the crowd, downplaying concerns of a possible ODM nomination fiasco.

The Governor would then proceed to Kisauni where a NASA rally was scheduled to take place from 4pm at Tukutane Frere town grounds .
In the US, Joho attended a series of meetings of the Strong Cities Network in Washington DC.
He also met Kareem Shora – section chief, office of the secretary, US Department of Homeland Security and Russell T Porter – USAid senior coordinator for the secretariat for countering violent extremism.
