Governor Abdi to seek re-election as independent –

Wajir Governor Mohamed Abdi has declared that he will seek re-election on an independent ticket.

Abdi who was eyeing to clinch the seat on a Jubilee ticket, was locked out after the party handed the certificate to Dr Hassan Mohamed on Monday.

Former CAS Mohamed Elmi was also locked out.

The award ceremony was graced by the party’s director of elections Kanini Kega and local leaders among them Eldas MP Aden Keynan and Woman Representative Fatuma Gedi.

On Wednesday, Abdi who was elected on a Jubilee ticket, took to his Facebook page to declare that his name will be on the ballot.

He said the ultimate decision of who will become the next governor lies with the electorate.

“Following the shambolic Jubilee Party nominations, I wish to express my utmost dissatisfaction with the outcome.”

“In that regard, I wish to declare my interest to seek re-election on an independent ticket,” the governor said.
