Mombasa political firebrand Mohammed Ali, has launched a fierce counterattack against what he calls deliberate misinformation campaigns targeting him ahead of the 2027 elections. In a strongly worded post on X, the former Nairobi Senator and vocal critic of national leadership accused opponents of fabricating quotes and avoiding direct confrontation."They would rather put words in my mouth than face me head-on," Ali declared. "You can Not fool a population that has AWAKENED. Mombasa People will not be deceived by lies and manipulation this time round."
The controversy stems from a viral image circulating online, stamped with a bold "Fake News " overlay by The Kenya Times dated January 19, 2026. The purported quote attributed to Ali reads: "
The Kikuyu will be the ones to get me through to the Mombasa governorship because they are many. As for the other communities, I don't care. They will just split their support among the other candidates."Ali branded the statement a complete fabrication, designed to inflame ethnic tensions in Coast region politics and undermine his growing support base.
