According to Dennis Onyango, the Personal Secretary to Raila said “Today H. E Raila Odinga met with former Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar at his Capitol Hill offices.”
In addition to his statement, “The two leaders discussed development in the country and peace. Omar reiterated need to support handshake and inclusiveness in national politics.”
After 2017 controversial elections which were nullified by Supreme Court, Omar, a staunch critic of Jubilee administration, pulled a shocker when he joined President Uhuru Kenyatta’s team.
Throughout the campaigns for repeat elections, Omar led the president’s campaigns in the coastal strip.
But despite his commitment, Jubilee administration has not rewarded him as part of the promise made to him and other coastal leaders.
Mr Omar’s meeting with Raila lasted for one hour and the two are said to have also discussed the future of coast politics.
He unsuccessfully vied for Mombasa gubernatorial seat in which he lost to Hassan Joho.
However online community had some reactions following the meeting.
,,the lost son is now back hahahahaha baaaaba u will remain our father forever ,,,

Amekuja kufanya nini? Our Baba you are so forgiving, too accommodating. All the same, this is what makes you the best leader. Remind him that after all of his shouting the Governor of Mombasa, DPL of ODM remains @HassanAliJoho

@HassanOmarH You believe in what @RailaOdinga stands for. He needs you now more than before.

Omar anakumbuka akisema we can’t have a country where the Prime Minister is the president and @HassanAliJoho the Governor. He said that while jumping to the other side leaving a coalition he convinced us to endorse. Baba has a big heart. Fanyia hivyo ruto uone jeshi ya mkale
