Joho Reacts to Unity Agreement between President Uhuru and Raila

Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho has thrown his weight behind the unity agreement reached between Opposition leader Raila Odinga and President Kenyatta.

Joho, who has in the past found himself at loggerheads with President Uhuru and the Jubilee government, has urged National Super Alliance (Nasa) leaders and supporters to embrace the peace deal reached between the two.

In a series of tweets, Joho said that he was proud to be in Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party, which "has always been on the right side of history."

"To our coalition partners, there’s a time for peace and a time for war. This is the time for peace. Not all of us may have fought in the times of war, but all of us MUST fight for peace. The time for war has come and gone," Joho said in a tweeted.

He continued: "To our party supporters, I wish to reassure you, our leadership has always been on the right side of history. As ODM, our faith in our leadership is resolute because it stands tried and tested. I also hereby pledge to be a joint custodian of all your concerns and interests."

After a meeting at the Head of State's Harambee House office on Friday, which lasted for hours, President Kenyatta and Odinga announced they had agreed to work together going forward in a bid to unite the country.
