Transport Minister Chirau Mwakwere has said a meeting of PNU supporters would be held in Mombasa on Saturday. Mr Mwakwere, who is also the PNU coast regional co-ordinator, said the meeting would be used to plan for the recruitment of members in the region.
"The Saturday meeting will be used to chart the way forward for Coast Province," he said.
But even as the minister tried to downplay the matter, the problems facing PNU intensified when a top Shirikisho Party of Kenya official announced they would reject the party.
SPK Director of Programmes, Sheikh Juma Ngao, who is also the Coast Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (Supkem) boss, said PNU does not exist at the Coast.
"PNU cannot talk about organising recruitment at the Coast because the party does not have even a single member in this province," Ngao said.
