Controversial political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has predicted who could be Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga's running mate. 

According to a tweet by Ngunyi on Monday, April 18, Martha Karua is likely to be picked as Odinga's deputy. 

"The verdict is out: It is Martha Karua as Raila's Running mate. I said it in June 2021. And what I saw then, has not changed. She is the one. End of discussion. Thanks to my big sister Charity Ngilu," Ngunyi stated.

According to the women led by Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu, Karua has an outstanding record. 

“Women form half of the registered voters in Kenya today. Deservedly we the women unanimously propose and endorse Martha Karua as Baba’s running mate,” Ngilu said. 

On the other hand, CAS Ministry of Public Service and Gender Programmes Rachael Wambui stated, “We don’t know why you cannot see the value of Martha. Her record speaks for itself. Karua is one of the formidable female politicians in the country who have the ability to sway crowds towards a particular direction.”
