Photos: Joho’s Italian Wife Madina Hassan who keeps a low profile
Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho is a public figure but his first lady, on the other hand, can walk down the street without anyone recognizing her.
By his own admission, the governor prefers to keep his wife Madina Hassan off the press and her details are so scanty, that the County First Ladies Association still doesn’t have her photo on her profile on their website.
Unknown to many, Madina is born of an Italian father and Somali mother. Her birth name is Madina Giovanni Fazzini.
The 30-year-old is an entrepreneur who studied her Masters in Business Administration at a university on the Kenyan Coast.
According to multiple sources, it is believed that she can fluently speak seven languages.
The two are raising four children who, like their mother, are also well hidden from the glare of the media.
Their three daughters are Umm Kulthum, Rahma and Amina while the boy is named Shaheed.
During a past interview, the governor told Kenyans that, if Madina was a politician, they would see her more often.
Apart from managing Joho’s foundation, she was also instrumental in the launch of the governor’s political career.
Thanks to her overwhelming ‘behind the scenes’ strategies and a people-driven campaign agenda, Joho was overwhelmingly elected as the Kisauni MP through ODM.
Perhaps as the county boss prepares to launch his bid for the presidency, his wife may just feature on the campaign trail.
Hassan Ali Joho is a Kenyan politician and the former Governor of Mombasa County affiliated with the Orange Democratic Movement. He was also elected to represent the Kisauni Constituency in the National Assembly of Kenya during the 2007 Kenyan parliamentary election.
On 4 March 2013, during the general election, Joho was elected as the first governor of Mombasa County.In the 2017 General Elections held on 8 August, Joho retained his seat on an ODM ticket.
Despite significant politically engineered setbacks, Joho emerged triumphant by winning with 220 576 votes against his closest rival Suleiman Shahbal with 69 322 votes, Suleiman is a member of the Jubilee Party.
Joho served as governor of Mombasa until 2022 when he completed his ten year term paving way for his successor Abdulswammad Sharrif Nassir the former member of the National Assembly for Mvita Constituency.Wikipedia
