Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu has sensationally claimed that she is the best suited politician in Azimio to deputize Raila Odinga in the August 9 general elections.
Speaking on Mwingi the Kitui Governor remarked that she is better suited than Kalonzo Musyoka should Raila opt to choose his running mate from Ukambani region.
“When the time comes for Azimio to pick its running mate from Ukambani, I will stand to be counted. What do you, the people of Mwingi North and Kitui at large, think? Am I not able and fit?” she posed.
