It was not clear whether Mr Odinga would break from his Coast campaign tour to receive the report since his schedule runs until Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, even as the debate rages on when the panel would hand in its report to Mr Odinga as per its terms of operation, the Nation established that the team had settled on Ms Karua, Mr Kenneth and Mr Musyoka as the best choices for the Azimio leader\u2019s deputy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe shall give the names of Martha, Peter and Kalonzo to the candidate for his final decision,\u201d a highly placed source told the Nation. The three names are likely to present a fresh headache for Mr Odinga, with the consideration of the Mt Kenya factor and Mr Musyoka\u2019s Ukambani backyard still expected to play out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Were he to choose from Mt Kenya and drop Mr Musyoka, the tall order will be on how to retain the nearly two million votes from the region, of which Mr Odinga got more than 85 per cent of the votes cast in 2013 and 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the flip side, choosing to ignore Mt Kenya for Mr Musyoka is a tricky choice because it might mean handing the 5.8 million votes to Deputy President William Ruto on a silver platter. Those backing the choice of Ms Karua and Mr Kenneth say it will help eat into Dr Ruto\u2019s support in the mountain, with the hope that the team still retains Mr Musyoka\u2019s Ukambani bloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There had been reports that the Wiper leader had been asked to take a proposed chief minister position that will reportedly be in charge of delivery and supervision of projects of Cabinet, were Mr Odinga to win the presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ten candidates were interviewed by the selection panel on Monday and Tuesday before the committee settled on the three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The others who were interviewed are ODM deputy party leaders Hassan Joho and Wycliffe Oparanya, Narc leader Charity Ngilu, Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya (Party of National Unity), Murang\u2019a Woman Rep Sabina Chege, National Liberal Party leader Stephen Tarus and Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui (Ubuntu Peoples\u2019 Forum).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kanu Chairman Gideon Moi, who had also been shortlisted among candidates, backed out in favour of Mr Musyoka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Ms Karua, Mr Kenneth and Mr Musyoka emerged top, another source said: \u201cIt is not over until it is over,\u201d probably suggesting the possibility of minor changes. On Tuesday, the Nation established that all the 10 candidates who had been shortlisted s could land plum ministerial and state jobs, with one of them as the deputy President should Mr Odinga win the August election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple interviews with insiders in Mr Odinga\u2019s camp revealed that the candidates, including Mr Moi, will be given priority in appointments should the coalition party clinch the presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo avoid any possibility of a fallout, it has been proposed that the deputy presidential candidates will automatically land cabinet and plum state jobs after the elections as only one of them can be Baba\u2019s [Mr Odinga\u2019s] deputy,\u201d said a highly placed source in Azimio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Munya, who appeared before the selection panel on Tuesday, said it was important for those who miss the opportunity to be Mr Odinga\u2019s running mates to remain loyal to the cause, which is to ensure a win for Azimio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe intention is to get a [running mate] who will be able to complement the Azimio presidential candidate so that we can be able to win together and serve Kenyans,\u201d added Mr Munya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms Ngilu said a leader has to make tough decisions rather than sitting on the fence on matters of national importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the hallmarks of leadership is making decisions. Being extremely decisive by saying what you mean and doing what you say,\u201d the Kitui governor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Azimio Executive Director Raphael Tuju, in an interview on NTV on Tuesday, said Mr Odinga was not tied to the recommendations of the running mate selection panel and was free to name a deputy of his choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nation.africa\/kenya\/news\/politics\/uhuru-hand-in-kalonzo-s-about-turn-over-raila-deputy-interviews-3811338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Uhuru hand in Kalonzo&#8217;s U-turn<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNomination of a running mate is the prerogative and right of the presidential candidate.

You cannot, however, remain in an abusive marriage forever. It is a lesson for other candidates to be careful about their choice for running mate,\u201d said Mr Murathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe candidate has to be sure that it is somebody they will have a connection with, not somebody who can undermine you or demand that \u2018you must give me this or else \u2026\u2019 that is blackmail and it cannot work,\u201d he added. \u201cOn that basis alone, that person should not be picked.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>jjochieng@ke.nationmedia.com<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nation.
