Ruling party expected to pick deputy party leader many think might run with ODM leader Raila Odinga. Sources have intimated that Jubilee will name a deputy party leader at the conference, with President Uhuru Kenyatta expected to retain party leader’s position. Analysts say the man or woman identified as Uhuru’s deputy could be ODM leader Raila Odinga’s next year’s presidential running mate on a joint ODM-Jubilee ticket. Although the proposed Jubilee-ODM pre-2022 poll pact envisions a joint presidential bid, it is silent on how a running mate shall be identified. Jubilee’s identification of a deputy party leader next Tuesday will be a loaded statement to their Orange partners.
