Safina party presidential candidate Jimi Wanjigi has unveiled Willis Otieno as his running mate ahead of the August election.

Wanjigi unveiled his running mate on Tuesday morning at the Ufungamano house in Nairobi.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to be upstanding as I unveil my wonderful running mate. A great son of this soil. A great young man. A diligent professional. A great friend. My brother, my younger brother Willis Otieno,” Wanjigi announced.

Wanjigi becomes the fifth presidential candidate to unveil his running mate ahead of the general election after Roots party’s George Wajackoyah, Kenya Kwanza’s William Ruto, Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition’s Raila Odinga and Wiper Party’s Kalonzo Musyoka.

Otieno was the head of Raila's Presidential Campaign Secretariat in 2017.
