I’m ready to serve as DP: Oburu enters race to be Ruto’s running mate Politics 18 min ago

Barely two weeks after some leaders proposed Wycliffe Oparanya, the Cabinet Secretary for Cooperatives and MSMEs, to be President William Ruto's running mate in the 2027 General Elections, the ODM party leader Oburu Oginga has boldly announced declared his interest in the position.

The search for Ruto’s running mate has also sparked interest in the Mt Kenya region, where the Deputy President, Prof Kithure Kindiki, has announced his intention to retain his current position in 2027.

The race for the deputy president position in the broad-based camp continues to attract interest from across the regions among members of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
