Azimio la Umoja coalition leader Raila Odinga made history yesterday after naming Narc-Kenya leader Martha Karua as his running mate. Raila said Karua will also be Cabinet Secretary for Justice and Constitutional Affairs should they win the August 9 elections.
A win from the two would make Karua Kenya’s the first woman Deputy President. The Narc-Kenya leader’s nomination to the running mate position is seen as a milestone in the drive for gender equality in representation. Women make up just 21 per cent of members of the National Assembly and 30 per cent in the Senate.
