Kwale Woman representative Zuleikha Hassan was booed by locals at Ukunda in Msambweni constituency, Kwale County after she called on Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya and his Deputy Fatuma Achani to support ODM candidate in Msambweni parliamentary race Omar Boga.
Zuleikha said both Mvurya and Achani started their politics in ODM political party and they should return to the party to help Boga take the day during the December 15, slated Msambweni by-election.
Zuleikha appealed to Mvurya and Achani to drum support for Boga and drop independent candidate Feisal Abdallah Bader in the tough race.
“I appeal to both Mvurya and Achani to join our ODM campaign wagon so that Boga sails into leadership,” said Zuleikha.
However, her remarks caused jeering and booing from the charged crowd.
Stiff competition
