The Governor also dismissed those questioning his presidential credentials adding that it was time for other regions to back them. 

"We have the ability to be able to lead this country just like any other person...If Raila and Uhuru can lead, I can also do it," Joho said. 

The Governor also urged the ODM party to support his candidacy if he trounced all other presidential nominees. 

Mvita MP Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir echoed the Governor's statement adding that they were part of building ODM and deserved a seat at the top. 

"We will not desert a house that we built to go and build another one from scratch. We deserve to be the leader of that house that we took part and parcel of building. We deserve a seat on top," Nassir stated. 

Governor Joho will now face his Kakamega counterpart Wycliffe Oparanya and ODM leader Raila Odinga for the party's 2022 presidential ticket.
