Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Mike Sonko has used his cars to drive aggressively into the crowds during Azimio in Mombasa, Kenya, today.
Chaos briefly rocked Raila Odinga’s Azimio rally at Mkomani in Mombasa after former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s entry.
Sonko’s vehicles arrived at the Mkomani venue of the rally at around 3.30pm.
Two of his vehicles attempted to make their way to the opposite side of the crowded venue while different aspirants were introducing themselves.
At the venue, Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya presidential candidate Raila Odinga, who had convened the rally, was already seated as other local leaders addressed the crowd.
The unrest resulting from Sonko’s arrival forced police officers at the venue to swing into action, with sections of the youth allied to Sonko demanding he be allowed to make his way to the podium.
However, a section of the youth, who support Mvita MP Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir, attempted to prevent the former governor from alighting from his vehicle
He will run on a Wiper Party ticket, while his fiercest rival, Abdulswamad Nassir, will vie on ODM ticket.
Hassan Omar of United Democratic Alliance (UDA) is also in the race to succeed Joho.

Mike Sonko has just ploughed into a crowd in Mombasa shooting in the air. That guy is trash. I said this before. I’ll say it again.
