The wife of independent presidential candidate Micheal Wainaina surprised Kenyans when she revealed her reaction after her husband disclosed his ambition to seek the presidency.

Speaking on Monday at the Catholic University of East Africa (CUEA) Mrs Wainaina revealed that she first laughed off her husband's desire to become the fifth president of Kenya.

"When he first told me about his presidential I laughed," she said.

However, she said after reading Wainaina's manifesto she changed her perception and decided to support him.

Wainaina is set to face off with Thirdway Alliance Party presidential candidate Akuru Aukot and independent candidate Japeth Kavinga Kaluyu since they are the only candidates who showed up for the first debate that starts at 5:30 pm.
