Roots party deputy presidential running candidate Justina Wamae wears a wry smile that can easily disarm her interlocutor. When her boss, presidential candidate George Wajackoyah introduced her to the public, many did not know much about her, never mind that she had been in the political space for a while and even ran for a parliamentary seat in 2017.
On stage, she comes off as confident, soft, articulate and in control of the moment. She is a contradiction of her party leader.
