Mukhtar: Young and restless leader eyeing to revamp Wajir

For a county deeply divided along clan lines, Ahmed Ali Mukhtar had little chances of making it in the race for the Wajir gubernatorial seat.

In fact, the 39-year-old politician tried it before the 2017 General Election but his Ogaden clan rejected his bid. He settled for the Wajir South parliamentary seat, which he had sought previously but lost.
