At the same event, Wiper unveiled its candidate for the Machakos County gubernatorial race in the August 9 polls.

Wavinya Ndeti was handed the party’s ticket after Mavoko MP Patrick Makau, who was also battling for the Wiper ticket, bowed out of the race to support Wavinya.

"For a brother to step down for a sister is not a joke. I want to sincerely thank you Hon Makau for stepping down for me," Ms Wavinya stated.

Wiper is one of the parties under the newly-registered Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Alliance Coalition party.

The coalition party is comprised of 26 parties including the ruling Jubilee Party and Raila Odinga’s ODM party.
