Widespread celebrations rocked Central and other parts of the country following Raila Odinga's naming of Martha Karua as his running mate. Raila and Karua are expected to face off with Deputy President William Ruto, who on Sunday named Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua as his running mate. Ndambiri praised Raila for picking Karua, saying the political landscape in Mt Kenya has changed to his favour. This move has even turned around majority of the votes especially in Central to support Azimio," resident David Waweru said. Margaret Wambui from Murang’a town said they were eagerly waiting for Raila to pick Murang’a Woman Representative Sabina Chege.
