KENYA KWANZA SETTLES ON MUTURI AS AZIMIO UNVEILS SELECTION STRATEGY.

The race to replace president Uhuru Kenyatta is on the top notch as the two top candidates (Raila Odinga and William Ruto) battles to showcase their superiority to win their supporters and other electorates hearts.

It has now narrowed down to a game of numbers and that one with the wisest strategies and ideas is set to beat the other competitor with a scary margin

The war of numbers will now be easy to predict after the Kenya kwanza alliance containing Musalia Mudavadi,Moses Wetangula, William Ruto,Justin Muturi among other party leaders already unveiled their running mate.

According to a post made by Moses Kuria on his Facebook page, he has hinted on their alliance choosing the current national assembly Speaker Justin Muturi as their running mate. He claimed that it is so decided.

“it is so decided,” Kuria said.

This comes days after Azimio la umoja settled on Lee Kinyanjui as their best shot for the second position.

This was revealed by Mutahi Ngunyi who said that Martha Karua is playing hard to get and thus the coalition has settled on the Nakuru county governor who has a good track record.

“Martha Karua is playing hard to get, the azimio la umoja one Kenya alliance will now pick Lee Kinyanjui as its running mate, iko swali?” He posted.

Lee was supposed to defend his Nakuru county seat through the jubilee party ticket and settling in him means it is now a sure bet for the UDA Party member Susan Kihika.

Meanwhile, The Azimio La Umoja – One Kenya Coalition Running Mate Selection Panel has set the qualifications that the candidates seeking to be intereviewd must meet.

The Running Mate Selection Panel Secretary Elizabeth Meyo said on Sunday that the panel has commenced the process of vetting candidates.
