Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has congratulated ODM gubernatorial candidate Abdulswamad Sharrif Nassir for winning the Mombasa seat.
Taking on social media, the flamboyant politician thanked their supporters for voting for Kenya Kwanza candidate Hassan Sarai Omar who has come second in the race.
“Watu wangu habari za asubui? When you are in any competition, your competitor is not your enemy but your opponent, I wish I was on the ballot but no matter how long it takes inshallah God’s time is the best, yote tisa asiyekubali kushindwa sio mshindani.

Congratulations Abdulswamad Sharrif Nassir for your win as the second Governor of Mombasa we live to fight another day. I’d also like to thank all our supporters for believing in us and voting for our candidate Hassan Omar Sarai, despite the loss let’s remain strong and even more united as we shall always be there for every one 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.” Said Sonko
Sonko who decamped Kalonzo Musyoka’s Wiper for Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza has been one of the politicians who campaigned for Sarai at the Coast.
In the yet-to-be-declared results, Nassir has won all six constituencies as confirmed by the various media houses.
