Kenya Kwanza Alliance presidential aspirant and Deputy President William Ruto will announce his running mate before Monday. "I want to assure you that as Kenya Kwanza and as a candidate in the next General election we will have our running mate forwarded to the IEBC before the deadline," Ruto said. National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi, a late entrant into the Kenya Kwanza coalition, has also been mentioned severally as a potential running mate. While the Kenya Kwanza camp has remained tight-lipped on the criteria they are using to select Ruto's running mate, the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance coalition opted for interviews to determine the suitable person to deputise Raila. After the interviews, the Azimio Running Mate Selection panel will give a report on suitable candidates to the Azimio council and thereafter the candidate will be announced.
