KNCCI Polls: Coast Region Dumps Dr Rutto, Backs Ngatia’s Re-Election Bid as President
The Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) vice president Dr. Eric Rutto and his deputy Mustafa Ramadhan has failed to climb Mount Kenya, swim through the Lake region, Nairobi metropolitan and Lower Eastern, and now penetrate the coast in the presidential race as these regions backed the incumbent president Richard Ngatia for re-election as the chamber’s president.
Officials from the coastal areas of Mombasa, Tana River, Taita Taveta, Kwale, and Kilifi through their weight behind Ngatia and his running mate Shariff Abdulwalli Sharrif ticket.
“Jumuiya ya pwani wishes to announce and make a declaration as the coastal region delegates, that Ngatia’s bid election as the KNCCI president is locked behind Ngatia’s re-election intentions as the president,´ declared elected officials from the coastal region.
Ngatia is getting more endorsements for re-election based on his development track record as the KNCCI boss in his first term.
Following Ngatia’s endorsement in the coastal region, his support base has surpassed the 35 mark from Kenya’s 47 counties giving him an unassailable lead to inch closer to retaining the KNCCI presidency with a landslide victory.
