Tuesday, February 22, 2022 – Celebrated political analyst, Herman Manyora, has given his two cents on the choice for a running mate ahead of the August 9th General Election.
Speaking during an interview yesterday, Manyora revealed that both Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga have no option but to pick their running mates from the Mt Kenya region.
“You are looking at the role Mt Kenya is playing in both camps and you are beginning to accept suddenly that it will be suicide to take a running mate whether you are RAILA OR Ruto from outside Mt. Kenya,” Manyora said.
While commenting on the possibility of Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithika Kindiki becoming DP Ruto’s running mate, Manyora said such a move will work against Ruto’s presidential quest.
He advised Ruto not to even think about picking Kindiki as a running mate because Raila would crush him since the man has no clout on the ground.
“To go and get somebody from Mt Kenya East, is to open Mt. Kenya West to attack President Uhuru, you make it worse by going to Tharaka Nithi,” the analyst said.
