Watching the pair of Azimio presidential candidate and running-mate Raila Odinga and Martha Karua field questions from the media on Tuesday, and again at a consultative session with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission on Wednesday, the good chemistry between them came out clearly.

The running-mate let the boss be boss and kept referring to him as “my principal”. On the other hand the candidate was secure and confident in himself to allow the running-mate say her piece and be part of the show. The two complemented as opposed to competing with the other.
