Below are Joho’s duties as a deputy party leader according to the party constitution that has a deputy party leader-policy and deputy party leader-strategy.

A deputy party leader shall:

1. Assist the party leader and carry out the duties of the Party Leader in his/her absence.

2. Deputise party leader and shall perform such duties and functions as might be expressly delegated to him/her by the party leader.

3. Assist the party leader in formulating the party’s strategic plan.

The above three functions are carried out by the two deputies. However, a deputy party leader-policy has an extra duty. He or she has to assist the party leader in developing policy formulation processes and development.

The above functions make Joho a powerful figure in the Orange party whether he is in charge of policy or strategy. He takes up Raila Odinga’s shoes whenever necessary.
