Mombasa Island South was an electoral constituency in Mombasa District of Coast Province. Created for the 1963 general elections, it is one of the three original constituencies of Mombasa District and among the 117 constituencies of independent Kenya. It was renamed Mombasa West Constituency for 1966 election. The constituency was abolished in 1988, and consolidated with Mombasa Central to form Mvita constituencies.[1]
South of Mombasa, across the Likoni Creek, lies a 700-kilometer coastline stretching from the Tanzanian to Somali borders. Known for its soft white sandy beaches, coconut groves, tranquil lagoons, secluded islands, mangrove swamps, and the mysterious Arab and Swahili ruins, this region offers a unique and captivating landscape.[2]
