Where is Ali Bunow Korane ?????

Since his failure to capture the gubernatorial seat of the county of Garissa, Ali Bunow Korane has almost disappeared. The prominent and controversial politician ran against the current county governor Nathif Jama, but failed to quench the seat by a slight margin.
Immediately after Nathif’s declaration as winner of the gubernatorial race by the IEBC, Mr. Korane fleed the country and went to Johannesburg, South Africa. Garissa Reporter could not determine the reason of his flight but can confirm that he stayed there for almost 3 weeks.

President Uhuru Kenyatta offered Ali Bunow Korane a position in statehouse.
However, prior to the public announcement of the Cabinet Secretary appointments by the President, Uhuru Kenyatta, Ali Bunow Korane returned to Nairobi to seek or lobby political support so that he may get  a governmental position. Garissa Reporter has learnt that Ali Bunow Korane was offered the position of State House Comptroller, but turned down the offer. Many of his supporters are happy with him making such a decision saying that the former DC of Garissa cannot be a ‘statehouse butler!
Is the political career of Ali Bunow Korane over? The verdict of the petition against Governor Nathif Jama is yet to be announced by the High Court. If the petition succeeds and a re-election for gubernatorial seat is ordered, then it might be possible for Mr. Korane to come back from oblivion and run again as governor. However, his attempts might  be futile or may not prove any more successful then the March 4th elections. Garissa Reporter has learnt that yesterday, the elite tribal elders of the Abduwaq community, which Korane comes from, had vowed to endorse a new person from their tribe to run for the gubernatorial seat in the event the petition against the IEBC succeeds
