KENYA- KILIFI: Coast ODM MPs threaten to secede

Coast MPs says will withdraw from gvt if election take place on 26oct
- Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi and six Coast Opposition legislators have said they will push for secession of the Coast region if the electoral agency insists on holding the October 26 election without reforms.
- They said secession will enable the region, which was formally under the rule of the Sultan of Zanzibar, to govern itself for the good of Coast residents who have remained marginalised since Independence.
- Speaking during rallies at Rabai and Kaloleni, Kingi said the Sultan of Zanzibar gave the region to Kenya during Independence.
- He added that the electoral reforms the NASA is pushing for are crucial for a free and fair election.
