Azimio Chief Raila Odinga has maintained that former Mombasa Governor Hassan Ali Joho is still a member of the Azimio coalition.
In an interview with NTV, Raila said Joho has his hands full dealing with ODM party issues abroad.
"Joho has his role in Azimio, but he also works with out political party members from abroad. Each leader has his role in Azimio. Joho is in Azimio and we are fine," Raila said.
The ODM party leader gave assurance that Joho is still an active member of the party.
The former Mombasa governor, who also serve as the ODM deputy party leader, went silent after the August 9 general elections last year.
The silence was characterised by inactivity on his social media handles.
There were speculations that he might have ditched the Azimio Coalition to join the Kenya Kwanza government but that was not confirmed.
But after months of silence, the former governor eventually started making public appearances and sharing updates on his social handles.
In April, as the Muslim faithful convened for Eid prayers at Fahari Primary School, Joho reiterated his loyalty to the ODM party leader.
"I subscribe fully to the ideology of Raila Odinga, it is only for health reasons that I have been away, even as we speak I'm still recovering. Once I feel better, Raila will be behind me in the demonstrations. I am ODM and ODM is me, I am Raila and Raila is me," he said
Had Raila won the August 9 polls last year, Joho was to be appointed as the Lands Cabinet Secretary.
