Addressing members of the public in Nyali sub-county on Thursday, Joho said that he believes in ODM party democracy and he will be contesting for the party presidential ticket ahead of the 2022 election.
“I heard Raila in Kilifi saying that he will contest for the ODM party ticket, I want to tell you I have already submitted my application and waiting for the party primaries,” said Joho.
Governor Joho further said that he has worked closely with Raila Odinga and if he will win against him he believes Odinga will support him.
