”The Kenya African National Union (KANU) proposes and submits the name of H.E Hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka as its preferred candidate for the position of Deputy President in the forthcoming General Election. It is our considered opinion, and we strongly believe that Stephen Kalonzo fits the bill and is the most suitable to deputise Raila Amolo Odinga,” a May 5th statement from Senator Moi reads in part.
However a day later on Friday, May 6th a statement from the Azimio Press Secretary indicated Gideon Moi’s name is among the candidates who have made it through its first shortlist.
