Suleiman won the Msambweni Member of Parliament in the year 2013 via the ODM ticket and will be remembered for once joining forces with his Malindi colleague, the outspoken Aisha Jumwa and support deputy president William Ruto.
Though things got heated up for the Msambweni MP and Aisha Jumwa, Dori was spared by the party after he was called to explain himself by the party’s disciplinary committee.
Suleiman Dori has died at the age of 43 years and is set to be buried today as is the norm with the
Muslim traditions.
