Coast leaders are set unveil their party that hopes to lock in the region's 1.8 million voters and boost their bargaining power ahead of the next year elections.

A rare State House meeting that seems to have caught the ODM brigade by surprise on Wednesday saw President Uhuru Kenyatta reportedly reconcile Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya with his colleagues Hassan Joho (Mombasa) and Amason Kingi (Kilifi). 

Sources told The Standard that the leaders also shared their insights and aspirations for the coastal people.
