Jubilee Party Vice Chairman, David Murathe on December 12, revealed the how the Jubilee party will make the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader, Raila Odinga, Kenya's fifth president.
Speaking to the press during the Jamhuri Day Celebrations at Uhuru Gardens, Murathe announced that the ruling party had a grand plan to form a larger coalition with ODM.
He recognised the Odinga-led faction as future partners owing to a positive performance record following the handshake.
"The message of our party in collaboration with our potential partners in the future, because we are going to form a larger coalition going forward, would be stability and the unity of this country for the prosperity of Kenya," he stated.
Murathe noted that Jubilee, alongside the parties that will form the new coalition would campaign for Raila ahead of the August,9, 2022 general election.
He further noted that the current political season was a 'silly' season, noting that there was a lot of movements and shifting from political parties. However, of importance was for politicians to root for their own candidate.
"You have to root for your own candidates. You have to get to a position where you tell them if you are you, this is the way you would go.
"For example, we are asking Kenyans either to choose 'Baba' or 'Alibaba'. These are things you root for in your campaigns," he added.
Murathe was part of the contingent of Jubilee leaders who attended the official launch of the former Premier's presidential bid dubbed 'Azimio la Umoja' at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani on December 10.
While addressing the crowd, he stated that he was the first person to proclaim that Raila would be at State House come 2022.
"I am a very happy man today. I was the one who said 'prepare for Raila Amollo Odinga to be the fifth president of the Republic of Kenya. Hasn't the time come or not?" he posed.
Top officials from ODM and Jubilee have been holding meetings to craft a plan on how to craft a pact.
