“Following intense consultations, we have decided that the holder of this office of the Deputy President has to be a woman. I have picked as my running mate and minister for Constitutional Affairs, Martha Wangari Karua,” Raila said.
In his speech, the ODM boss took Kenyans through Karua’s journey from her days as a young lawyer to the accomplished politician she is today.
“She’s a fighter, not a quitter. She has a beautiful soul as exhibited by her love and passion for her children and grandchildren. As a core worker, I want her to finalise the work of making our constitution once and for all. She has the right pair of hands to accomplish this work,” he said.
In her acceptance speech, Karua said she is ready to fight and also thanked Raila for nominating her.
“I am deeply honoured by the decision to nominate me as the Deputy Presidential candidate for Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition party. I stand before you fully aware of the implications and symbolism of this moment,” she said.
