"Mudavadi has anchored his 2022 political journey around rebuilding a resilient economy and ensuring peace and stability.

The tour comes barely three weeks after he toured the Coastal City of Mombasa where he engaged various local leaders and residents urging them to support his presidential bid.

Mudavadi who is eyeing the presidency in 2022 has always insisted on the need for unity and coming together of like-minded leaders to form a government that will work for the people.
