Azimio postpones unveiling of shortlisted candidates

The Resolution Co-nomination committee pushed back until Thursday to launch its report on the three nominees for the team’s co-candidate.

The committee cited the absence of the Declaration presidential candidate, Raila Odinga, who is in Malindi for his decision.

Panel chairman Noah Wekesa said the ODM boss would be available on Thursday to receive the report.

The nomination team was to present the top three candidates for the Resolution presidential candidate, Raila, and President Uhuru Kenyatta, who must go through all three for the final decision.

The panel has so far questioned; Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Governors Charity Ngilu (Kitui), Hassan Joho (Mombasa), Lee Kinyajui (Nakuru) and Wycliffe Oparanya (Kakamega).

The other runners are; Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth, Muranga County Women Representative Sabina Chege, former Kenyan Ambassador to Australia Stephen Tarus and CSO Agriculture Peter Munya.
