Kwale Senator Issa Boy and Woman Rep Fatuma Masito have renewed their 'lost' love with ODM leader Raila Odinga.

This came amid allegations the two are plotting to ditch the party.

After the 2022 general election, the two and ODM MCAs Hanifa Mwajirani and Khadija Ngala, started working closely and defending Governor Fatuma Achani of UDA.

But on Thursday they dismissed allegations that they have defected and assured Raila of their loyalty to ODM.

"Don't worry Baba. We are with you and we will support you to our last breath," Boy said at Kwale Baraza Park in Matuga.

The senator said in the next general election, ODM will secure all the seats in the county.

Boy said Raila mentored and showed him the way in politics.

Masito said the ODM chief played a key role in her political career.

"I was young when I joined politics but Baba held my hand and I was nominated as an MCA twice," she said.

"Kwale is your bedroom and nobody should tell you that you lost grip of the region." 

Ngala said Kwale will always be Raila's stronghold because residents love him.

The MCA said she will fight to make ODM popular again in the county.

Raila said the relationship he has with Kwale ODM leaders is strong and would want to strengthen it more for the political battle ahead.

He said he wants people to unite so they can grow the ODM party and bring development to Kenyans.

Raila told residents to "punish" Boy and Masito, if any of them decides to ditch him and the party.
