Only last week, Mr Odinga was declared the torchbearer for the National Super Alliance, with Kalonzo Musyoka as his running mate in a coalition that brings together five parties. Today, the onus falls on Jubilee Party to similarly nominate its presidential candidate and running mate — Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto respectively. Jubilee and Nasa leaders have been traversing the country in search of votes, giving the politicians the dubious distinction of permanently being on the campaigns. Evidently, the presidential elections promise to be a tough race as the country is divided into nearly two equal halves. We exhort the parties to conduct campaigns decently without inflaming ethnic passions that breed anarchy.
