Deputy President William Ruto has been advised to consider National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale as his running mate during the 2022 elections.
A group of Nakuru professionals on Tuesday stated that including Mr Duale on his presidential ticket, DP Ruto will show that any tribe can lead Kenya.
The group's representative Michael Bowen was speaking in Molo after the Jubilee duo was inaugurated at Kasarani stadium.
Mr Bowen stated that appointing the Garissa town MP would prove that leadership in the country is inclusive and not only meant for a few communities.

"Since democracy has risen and closed ethnic and religious gaps, Duale is fit for the post.
"We are happy that the Jubilee Party administration has united Kenyans regardless of their ethnicity," he explained.
He added that the majority leader deserved to be DP Ruto's running mate because he (Duale) was loyal to the party's cause.
"Duale has stood with Ruto through thick and thin. Duale has been Ruto's close ally since their time in the defunct United Republican Party (URP)," Mr Bowen conveyed.
