Deputy President William Ruto when he received Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru to UDA at his Karen residence, Nairobi County. And in my take, in many essential respects, Governor Anne Mumbi Kamotho presents a compelling choice. If one was looking for the “wheat” in the UDA movement, then governor Anne Mumbi Kamotho provides a complete and satisfying answer. I have argued before, that a woman running mate is a matter of constitutional compliance as it is a practical sense issue—women constitute the largest voting block and therefore nominating a woman running mate comes with political dividends. She represents and speaks for the marginalised and neglected voices, which is at the epicentre of UDA’s politics of change and renewal.
