Amani National Congress Leader Musalia Mudavadi has announced that the opposition alliance Nasa will not be naming its presidential flag bearer soon.
Speaking on Tuesday during an interview with Radio Jambo, Mudavadi noted that early announcement of Nasa's flag bearer could expose the candidate to political onslaughts.
"We know there are people out there who are sharpening their knives in readiness to hear who our presidential candidate is. We are not in a hurry to name our flag-bearer. What is more important is that we create an atmosphere where all the parties under Nasa feel well represented and their interests well taken care of," said Mudavadi.
The alliance has since selected a team that includes James Orengo, Agnes Zani, Boni Khalwale, Johnstone Muthama, MPs Eseli Simiyu, Sakwa Bunyasi, Francis Nyenze, Chris Wamalwa, Timothy Bosire, Farah Maalim and Mr Kipruto arap Kirwa who have been tasked to identify Nasa's presidential candidate.
The Opposition ticket has attracted the interest of ODM Party leader Raila Odinga, Wiper's Kalonzo Musyoka, ANC's Musalia Mudavadi and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula.
