Deputy President William Ruto (pictured) will have the exclusive right to choose his running mate if he opts to run for the presidency on United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party ticket. This is unlike in the Jubilee constitution that requires the presidential candidate and his/her running mate to be nominated jointly at the NDC. The UDA party leader will not be the automatic presidential candidate. Although Jubilee and UDA constitutions provide that the parties’ dissolution must be approved by at least two thirds of the NDC, Jubilee party is not specific on how the process is to be conducted. “A resolution to dissolve the party shall be supported by at least two-thirds of the delegates eligible to attend and vote.
