Former Gatanga Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Kenneth and incumbent Murang’a county Woman Representative Sabina Chege have been presented to the Azimio running mate selection panel for consideration.
The ruling Jubilee Party presented the two through a statement yesterday to the party National Election Board Chairperson Stephen Wandeto who affirmed that the party had reached a conclusion to nominate the two.
“We refer to the above subject matter and forward herewith names of the persons proposed by Jubilee Party for consideration as Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Deputy President Nominees. Peter Kenneth and Sabina Chege,” Wandeto said.
The Kenya African National Union (KANU) Party leader Gideon Moi yesterday recommended Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka to deputise Raila Odinga.
Through a letter to the Azimio One Kenya Coalition running mate selection panel, Moi said the former Vice President is more qualified amongst those mentioned as possible Raila’s running mate.
“The Kenya African National Union (KANU) proposes and submits the name of H.E Hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka as its preferred candidate for the position of Deputy President in the forthcoming General Election,” Moi said.
The panel had urged all 26 parties to submit names of people they wanted to deputise Odinga.
So far, the panel has received 20 names from the Azimio One Kenya Coalition’s various parties.
Any candidate who wishes to make a presentation to the panel will be given the opportunity.
