Roots presidential running mate Justina Wamae has now confirmed that indeed her boss George Wajackoyah has endorsed Azimio’s Raila Odinga.
“It’s true the allegations that my principal and party leader is supporting Azimio. But we have not discussed that as a Party, we have not agreed and neither have I been consulted,” she said.
Wamae, however, declared that she would back William Ruto of the UDA if it were necessary for them to support any of their rivals.
She claimed that as of Wednesday, party officials were still promoting their platform.
On Wednesday, Wamae spoke with Citizen TV after Wajackoyah refuted allegations that he had backed Raila.
“The notion that Prof Wajackoya has endorsed Raila Odinga is a hopeless imagination,” he said
Wamae pointed out that the viral video showing Wajckoyah appearing to endorse Raila was the second time Wajackoyah created the perception that the party is a project.
“If it comes to push and shove, then I will support the contrary (Ruto). That is my stand as Justina. But the party has not agreed, neither has it discussed this direction.”
On August 9, Kenyans will choose the fifth president between Raila, Ruto, Wajackoyah and David Mwaure of the Agano party.
