Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho is actively campaigning for President William Ruto at the Coast, sparking debate over whether he is an asset or a liability to Ruto's 2027 re-election bid.

• Critics argue that Joho has lost his appeal, questioning his influence over the two million voters in the region who previously supported him.
• Joho, a former Mombasa Governor, was recently appointed as the Cabinet Secretary for Mining.
• The discussion centers around his ability to galvanize voter support, as he historically represented the spirit of resistance in the Coast region.
