Abdulswamadan Is The Mombasa County Governor Elect

Abdulswamad Nassir of the ODM won the position in the by-election held on August 29, 2022, and was subsequently named the new governor of Mombasa.

Hassan Omar of the UDA received 98,108 votes in second place against Abdulswamad’s 119,083 votes.

Hassan Joho, the departing governor of Mombasa who served his second term, will be replaced by him. Francis Thoya will replace Nassir in his duties.
Hassan Omar’s campaign team member Mike Sonko, a former governor of Nairobi, congratulated their opponent on winning.

“Congratulations Abdulswamad Sharrif Nassir for your win as the second Governor of Mombasa. We live to fight another day. l’d also like to thank all our supporters for believing in us and voted for our candidate Hassan Omar Sarai, despite the loss let’s remain strong and even more united as we shall always be there for everyone of you even those who never voted for us.

“I shall as well continue to support you all in my own little capacity and that of my Sonko Rescue team. God bless the great people of Mombasa, God bless Kenya,” Sonko shared.

By the time of publishing, Hassan Omar was yet to concede defeat or congratulate the incoming governor.
