A five-member team has been selected by the Azimio Council to operate outside the new coalition’s structures in determining who is the most suitable candidate for the running mate slot among the options available for Azimio flagbearer Raila Odinga.

The five-member team of politicians and technocrats working discretely comprises Head of Civil Service Francis Kinyua, Azimio Executive Director Raphael Tuju, Jubilee Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni, Professor Makau Mutua, and an official from the Wiper Democratic Movement.
