Our voter preference data for the Mombasa County gubernatorial race places Hassan Omar in a commanding position at 34.1%, reflecting a strong and growing confidence in his leadership. As the Secretary General of UDA and a Member of the East African Legislative Assembly, Omar enters the race with a unique blend of national influence, regional legislative experience, and a proven public service record. His lead suggests that a significant share of voters see him as the most capable alternative to drive reforms, enhance governance, and elevate Mombasa’s strategic role within the national economy.
The incumbent Governor, Abdulswamad Nassir, follows at 27.8%, indicating that while incumbency offers visibility, many voters appear open to a leadership shift. Mohamed Ali, MP for Nyali, stands at 16.6%, demonstrating the appeal of outspoken parliamentary oversight. With 11.1% of voters still undecided, the race remains fluid—but current trends clearly point to Omar’s advantage, driven by his expansive political experience, organizational clout, and ability to articulate a transformative agenda for the county.
I’ve just watched this new Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) commercial, and wow, just wow… Breathtaking, my motherland, Kenya!!
This one hits you right in the heart. It instantly makes you stop and look again, at Kenya, at home, at the beauty and experiences we sometimes rush past without noticing.
From those breathtaking reveals, it reminds you just how beautiful this country is, from the different tourism experiences we have, the iconic landscapes, the vibrant cities, adventure activities, and the quiet magic in between.
Moments that make you proud. Moments that make you curious. Moments that have made assert with pride, Hapa ni Kenya!

I visited SC @ahmednasirlaw to highlight how @Arsenal can emulate @LFC to at least start winning leagues again. I told him to tell Arsenal fans particularly @WilliamsRuto and @RailaOdinga wa-relax. UCL iko juu sana, wajaribu Carabao.
Our discussion then focused on hii mambo ya broad-based. Now looking for Chelsea's @WehliyeMohamed
