Former governor Hassan Joho steps up his push to succeed former prime minister Raila Odinga as the ODM party leader as he rules out negotiations.
Speaking during a food distribution exercise for Muslims at Nidhamia Hall in Malindi on Saturday, March 23, Joho insisted that he was ready to battle it out with anyone to succeed the ODM leader.
While declaring his 2027 presidential bid, Joho ruled out any boardroom negotiations over the ODM party leadership.
The former governor and the ODM deputy party leader, claimed that some politicians within the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party leader have been attempting to contact him for negotiations.
“There are people within the Azimio coalition who have been calling me saying I am in a hurry. They have been requesting for talks. But I will not talk to anybody. We shall talk on the ballot. I have just started and will not look back. It is time for the coastal people to be appreciated,” Joho said.
The former governor said he will not look back as he hopes to succeed Raila if he lands the AU job come 2026.

Joho affirmed that he has just started his State House bid and won’t relent.
“Mimi ndo nimeanza na sirudi nyuma. Sirudi nyuma. Na wakati huu, watajua hadi wapwani watahesabawa katika Kenya hii.”
He said as a Muslim faithful, he only fears his creator and not any man.
Joho said that over the years, he has learned many fundamental aspects of leadership from the former prime minister.
“We have inherited courage, democracy, Kenyan values, and fighting for Kenyans with no fear from Raila. The greater conversation on what we have over the period has been able to learn and inherit from Raila,” he added.
