"The Azimio family stands proud of your performance during last night's debate."

The Deputy Presidential debate offered an opportunity for presidential running mates to highlight their manifesto and agenda to Kenyans.

It also gave them an opportunity to market their bosses and their ideology even as they woo voters to back them.

The presidential debate is scheduled for July 26 at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA).
