My word is my bond, I’m in opposition alliance says Wiper leader

Why do your consider yourself the best candidate for the Nasa out of the four principals?

My principle is not to talk about myself, I would rather let fellow citizens judge me, particularly those I have worked with. However, my political and professional resume stands out after being an MP, a minister in various ministries, deputy speaker of parliament and vice president. I have been a presidential candidate before and because of the seriousness of that candidature, it was me who was able to hold the country together after the disputed 2007 elections. I have the credentials and it is not just out of vain glory because I have served the country at the highest level. In Nasa, it is more of the vision than an individual because we want to change the country for the better.

That is not true. We had appointed the National Co-ordinating Committee to come up with a formulae and now we have three potions; by consensus or by caucuses and if any of them does not work, then we can have joint nomination. We are aware that our competitors in Jubilee want us to fight among ourselves in a joint nomination so that whoever loses unfairly goes to them. We have mapped the country and in areas where there is support for more than one party in our group, then we shall share out the seats for governor, parliament and county representatives, and women representatives. It is not correct to say that a certain a party does not like joint nominations, what we are saying is that we don’t want to give advantage to Jubilee like in 2003 when we made a mistake of running against each other in Nairobi which allowed Jubilee to get seats we ought to have won.
