A mega launch of the Pamoja African Alliance Party (PAA) is set for January next year as the political party allied to Kilifi County Governor Amason Kingi strategizes towards the next year General Election.
The Party Chairman Ibrahim Hamis alias Babangida told reporters that the launch will shake the whole country as the party will be naming its grand entry to the political arena ahead of the 2022 General elections.

Last week while meeting PAA women grassroots leaders, Governor Kingi said PAA would support Azimio la Umoja with a bid to forge national unity and in readiness to form the government in the oncoming elections.
Mr Hamis while supporting the move said all communities in Kenya are in the coastal region and are coexisting well with the locals which makes PAA party be in the forefront in the unity of the country.
“We are expecting to do a mega launch in January which will shock Kenyans,” he said.
Mr Hamis said the Coast region has suffered economically for decades and that was why they shall be working with the presidential candidate with the interest of the region.
The PAA chairman said the party is getting popular each day and attracting many candidates who would want to contest in the party in the oncoming general elections.
“We expect to receive so many candidates in our party because there will be so many fallouts from UDA, ODM, so we are welcoming them, this is PAA come to a house that is not leaking,” he said.
He said the party will do their nominations in different ways including consensus where there will be need and nominations together with agreements between candidates.
He at the same time dismissed claims that Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala intends to vie for the Mombasa Governor seat in a PAA ticket.
“I am hearing those rumours from you for the first time am not aware of such,” he said and laughed when asked by journalists.
Currently, the party has offices in over 30 counties in the country and is expected to be the vehicle to push the agenda for the region.
Reports indicate that the party launch will be in Bomas of Kenya Nairobi but it’s yet to be confirmed by the officials.
